New Year traditions in Florida
If you find yourself in Florida for the New Year then you can be assured of some great opportunities to party. All the major centres offer their own variations on New Year parties including a massive, family orientated, free event in Miami. Spend the hours before midnight enjoying live music and scrumptious food before watching ‘The Big Orange’ descend to launch the New Year with a spectacular firework display. Equally renowned events take place in St Augustine and Tampa and of course the theme parks get in on the act with a multitude of themed parties and events. If you fancy something a little out of the ordinary and quirky set against a tropical vista, then head to the Keys. Here you can experience some imaginatively ‘different’ ways to launch the New Year. Whether it’s a Conch Shell drop at Sloppy Joe’s, a pirate wench dumped from Schooner’s Wharf or the decent of an eight foot high red shoe complete with drag queen on Duval Street; the prelude to the inevitable fireworks will be like nothing you have seen before!
