Inaugural New Year’s Eve celebrations set to activate OWA this year include the kid-friendly Bubbles & Beats starting at 2pm followed by Downtown OWA Sparks & Sounds kicking off at 5pm. Children can enjoy an epic bubble party with music by DJ Patrick, free kids’ crafts, inflatables, and more. This event is perfect for little ones (and adults, too!) who can’t quite make it to midnight. Kids crafts include peel-and-stick New Year’s 2022 glasses and noisemaker wands. Quick bites are available from the Taste of OWA food truck parked by ClasheSports Center where the scavenger hunt prize pick-up is also located.
