about middnight

When the bells ring in 2012 on New Year's Eve, it will mark the beginning of a new tradition in Middletown, CT. Middnight on Main is an alcohol-free celebration with unique activities for revelers of all ages, centered in the city's historic downtown.  With dozens of performances and participatory events in a range of interesting venues up and down Main Street, you'll find stories, songs, workshops, dance, crafts, cookery, film and entertainment of all kinds.    Events begin at 3 pm and run all the way to the New Year at midnight - that is, Middnight on Main.

There will be two special extravaganza moments: rooftop fireworks for families at 6 pm and then a dazzling participatory event as the clock strikes midnight.

To join in, all you need is a Middnight on Main button, available at particpating button vendors. Wear the button and get into every venue free.

Come celebrate the hopes and dreams of a brand new year at Middnight on Main 2012!
