If you plan to watch some fireworks this New Year’s Eve, the popular vote for the biggest and best fireworks display is downtown Miami’s Bayfront Park. And best of all, it’s free. They also do the Big Orange ball drop likes Times Square.
The Miami Herald has a comprehensive list of upcoming events around New Year’s Eve, if you are still wondering what there is to do here in paradise. What isn’t there?! It’s a who’s who of celebrities around town: Kim Kardashian at Mansion, Shannon Elizabeth at either or both the Catalina or the Sagamore, Carmen Electra at (Parrot) Jungle Island. Celebrity is a dubious title in some settings, none more original than the King Mango Strut–poking fun at all the craziness that is life here in paradise. This year’s parade will be hosted by the Chongalicious Girls! Not since Joey Buttafuoco was scheduled to introduce Andrew “Dice” Clay concert in Madison Square Gardens has anything seemed a more perfect match! Be there at 2:00 p.m., December 30th at Commodore Plaza in the Grove. Bring your Sharpie!
