Maritime cities are ringing in 2023 with fireworks, if weather permits, but not all will be blasting off at midnight.
Charlottetown is beginning its fireworks presentation Saturday at 7 p.m. The fireworks will cap off a full day of family activities inside the Founder’s Food Hall & Market.
In Saint John, fireworks will launch from Long Wharf starting Saturday at 10 p.m.
In Halifax and Moncton, fireworks will light up the sky at midnight.
The fireworks in Halifax are part of celebrations at Grand Parade from 9:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., featuring JJ Wilde.
Moncton’s fireworks will be accompanied by a ball drop at midnight, following a 10 p.m. performance from The Mellotones at Downtown Place.
Halifax Transit is offering free, extended bus and Alderney ferry service from 6 p.m. onwards on Saturday.
Codiac Transpo in Moncton, Dieppe, and Riverview is also extending service on certain routes until 2 a.m. on Sunday.
After two years of pandemic restrictions, traditional celebrations and live performances are making a New Year’s Eve return.
“It’s definitely a bit of ‘welcome back’ party for New Year’s Eve,” says event promoter Frank James, who is preparing for a few events around Saint John on Saturday night. “The last couple of years has been difficult for people, so hopefully everyone will be coming out tonight to shake off the blues with a little bit of dancing.”
