New Years In Annapolis is always a lot of fun for families. While the City has not yet announced the schedule, the celebration usually includes plenty to do for the younger children in the late afternoon with a special early fireworks display. Face painting, dancing, magic, crafts, and plenty of hot cocoa.
The entertainment continues through the night for older kids and adults (sometimes one in the same) under a heated tent on City Dock which culminates in a countdown to 2014 just before the skies light up with fireworks to usher in the New Year!
