Get ready to celebrate New Year’s Eve like never before with the Tangerine Ball Drop, a fun and vibrant event happening on December 31st, 2024 from 6pm-1am at the Water Tower in downtown Brooksville! This unique celebration is bringing a colorful twist to the traditional ball drop, featuring a glowing tangerine descending to mark the start of the New Year.

The returning signature event is a festive way to usher in the New Year, complete with live music, food trucks, artisan market, VIP area, and a family-friendly atmosphere. Whether you're looking for a night of dancing, a spot to enjoy great food, or just a fun evening out with friends and family, the Tangerine Ball Drop has something for everyone.

This electrifying New Year's Eve celebration kicks off when DJ Shalamar takes the stage to spin the best of today’s favorites, classic hits, and everything in between! Known for his seamless blending of genres and infectious energy, he’s set to ignite the dance floor and keep the party going! From top chart hits to throwback favorites, partygoers can expect an epic soundtrack to usher in the New Year with style. When the clock strikes 9pm, families can expect a unique ball drop just for the kiddos! 

The fun doesn’t stop there! Southern rock Band, Tommy Soxx, takes the stage at 9:30pm and shows us why they’re the best at keeping the energy high throughout the evening. They’ll be joined by outgoing Mayor Blake Bell for a live countdown to midnight with a spectacular Tangerine Ball Drop and cheers from the crowd! Watch as the iconic tangerine lights up the night sky and makes its descent to welcome in the New Year.
