Finding New Year’s Eve Events for Kids in Kalamazoo
Scanning the event calendar for things to do for New Year’s Eve?
While traditionally reserved for the grown-ups, we are happy to report that Southwest Michigan has upped its December 31 game to include kids!
Although midnight is a bit late for the kiddos (and let’s face it, many adults), area businesses are welcoming families to celebrate much earlier in the day with balloon drops, sparkling juice, live music, DJs and more.
