Celebrate New Year’s Eve in Maggie Valley, NC

December 31st, 2019 to January 1st, 2020 marks the beginning of a new year and a brand-new decade! If you are planning to celebrate in Maggie Valley, NC, you’re in for a very special treat as the town rings in 2020. Even better, this family friendly event is free and open to everyone!

With party hats, music, entertainment, and a dazzling fireworks display, no place in Western North Carolina will do New Year’s Eve better than Maggie Valley! Festivities will begin at 8:00 pm and go through 12:00 am. The evening’s fun will be based at Market Square, 3493 Soco Road, Maggie Valley, NC 28751.

The free, inaugural event is chock full of fun family friendly festivities for ringing in the New Year. The idea of a first night celebration was the brainchild of a grassroots, newly formed nonprofit, the Maggie’s First Night Committee, which is hosting this event in Maggie Valley.

The event is made possible by the support of local business owners, residents, and several of the town’s regular out of town visitors. Their generous financial donations are what has made this event possible.

Fun for All!

Music aficionados can tap their feet to the sounds of the Outlaw Whiskey Band. Others will be amazed as Mountain Mike Ayers entertains with his always popular chainsaw carving demonstration.

Or, wear your dancing shoes and dance the night away as a DJ from RETRO Entertainment spins favorite tunes.

If you’re feeling lucky, you could win a prize as you hunt for, and find, hand-painted prize rocks. Hosted by the Facebook group Maggie Valley Rocks, these unique and beautiful rocks are super fun to find.

If that’s not enough, visitors can get married or renew vows with Maggie Valley’s own Wedding Fairy Godmother.

There’s even more! Allow the kids to let loose some New Year’s Eve energy in the bounce house or try their hand at the corn hole boards, which are fun for young and old alike.
