Tickets now on sale for North Fulton’s latest holiday tradition dedicated to ringing in the new year
Whether you’re popping champagne or sparkling cider, head to Avalon in Alpharetta for the mixed-use destination’s first-ever “Noon Year’s Eve,” a family-friendly celebration at The Hotel at Avalon. On Monday, Dec. 31 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., partygoers of all ages are invited to ring in the new year with a variety of activities, including a countdown to 2019 at 11:59 a.m. Tickets are now on sale.
“New Year’s Eve is one of the most glamourous celebrations of the year, but we noticed an absence of daytime, family-friendly activities designed for revelers of all ages to enjoy,” said Cayley Mullen, hospitality and marketing manager at Avalon. “At Noon Year’s Eve, even kiddos with early bedtimes can experience the excitement and traditional festivities of the new year.”
Beginning at 10 a.m., guests of the event will experience live entertainment by DJ Willy Wow, a one-of-a-kind arts and crafts station, face painting and bedazzling, and the opportunity to add a resolution to the hotel’s New Year’s resolution wall.
Throughout the event, families will indulge in a tasty popcorn station, a candy bar, a donut wall and cotton candy cart. For the adults, mimosas and other festive spirits will be available for purchase. At 11:59 a.m. sharp, the symbolic countdown to 2019 will begin, and at Noon, a cascading balloon drop will fall from the ceiling to welcome in the new year.
In addition, guests are invited to participate in a silent auction for a chance to win a variety of family-focused prizes, such as a “Mommy and Me” blowout at Dry Bar, a weekend getaway at The Hotel at Avalon, a Dave & Buster’s family package and more. Proceeds from the auction will benefit Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.
Tickets for adults and children are priced at $15 per person; kids aged two years or younger have free admission. To purchase tickets, visit: freshtix.com/events/noon-
The presenting sponsor for Noon Year’s Eve is the Alpharetta Convention & Visitors Bureau, with The Hotel at Avalon serving as the host sponsor. Additional event sponsors are PopnPixels and Painting with a Twist.
