     Los Angeles, CA—It’s a wrap! You have finally finished shopping for loved ones. The gifts have been wrapped and placed under the Christmas tree. It’s a wrap! It’s time to enjoy holiday camaraderie with family and friends in a festive atmosphere.

     The most pertinent question will inevitably pop up to liven up the conversation. What will you do to wrap up the year and usher in a new year? What are you doing on New Year’s Eve?

     You only have to search the internet to find out that there are no shortages of New Year’s celebrations in the City of Angels, the entertainment capital of the world.

     Revelers are invited to ring in the New Year at the West Coast’s largest free New Year’s Eve event. The countdown to the New Year returns to Gloria Molina’s Grand Park, 200 North Grand Ave. Los Angeles, California, on December 31, 2024.

     Thousands are expected to gather at this free, family-friendly, alcohol-free celebration in a vibrant park. The park welcomes all, “park for everyone.” The New Year’s celebration will have food trucks, feature music on two stages, celebrated DJs playing an eclectic soundtrack, art installations, and wrap up with Grand Park’s Signature 3-D video projection and light show on City Hall.

     The beauty of Grand Park’s New Year’s celebration is that it is free. I’m sure that the holidays have put a strain on your budget. No need to stretch your budget further to rent a tuxedo or evening gown or have to send out your favorite party outfit to be cleaned for this special night at one of the biggest parties of the year. Guests dress in layers according to the weather.

     Your dancing shoes probably didn’t gather a lot of dust if you were fortunate to partake in the variety of community events, cultural experiences, and holiday celebrations held in Gloria Molina’s Grand Park throughout the year.
