T he toast might be virtual, the hugs on hold, but the sentiment is universal: Letâs ring in the new year and drop kick 2020 into the rear view mirror.
Things definitely arenât typical this New Yearâs Eve. The First Night celebrations in the streets, the big dance parties, the packed concerts in music halls â most are paused as we head into 2021. And plans donât just change from day to day but hour to hour.
Still, there are bright spots â retooled shows, some splashes of color and online celebrations with fun, games and a sense of community.
Last Night Wolfeboro goes virtual
December 16, 2020WOLFEBORO After months of planning Last Night Wolfeboro 2020 for Dec. 31, virtual games, music, magic and storytelling will take place, but fireworks have been cancelled due to COVID-19 concerns.
According to Selectman Linda Murray and Chair of Wolfeboro s Special Events Committee, As we all know, the recent rise in COVID-19 cases in Wolfeboro and beyond has led to cancellation of many events. Because of this public health concern, Wolfeboro town officials have made the decision to cancel Dec. 31 fireworks as well as the postponement date. We are also considering the Last Night Wolfeboro scavenger hunt event and will update the public via social media and the town web site if that event changes.
