The city of Brewton will sponsor its 14th annual street dance, Blueberry Drop and midnight fireworks show this Saturday, New Year's Eve.
Live entertainment begins at 9 a.m. in the edge of Burnt Corn Creek Park with the New-Orleans-based Sha'On and the Girls of Success headlining the event again this year. A crowd-pleaser last year, Sha'On produced music from Motown to ‘Sweet Home Alabama.'
The giant blueberry will drop from Brewton'w Welcome Center at Midnight with a fireworks show following.
The safe, well-patrolled family event is a great alternative for those who want to celebrate the New Year but prefer not to join revelers on the road who have potentially imbibed too much.
We salute the city for providing an alcohol-free, family-fun alternative for area residents.
