Michigan New Years Eve Happenings

Michigan New Year's Eve HappeningsYears ago we assembled this list of some of the best New Year’s Eve events from across the state including a number from Detroit & Grand Rapids / Kalamazoo’s massive New Year’s Fest’s featuring fireworks, music and more!

While some of them are probably still happening, most are out of date so here are a few links for 2014/2015 New Years events to help you out:

Quotes

“New Year ceremonies are designed to get rid of the past and to welcome the future.” – New Year’s Customs

“An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in.
A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.” – Bill Vaughan

“To leave the old with a burst of song,
To recall the right and forgive the wrong;
To forget the thing that blinds you fast
To the vain regrets of the year that’s past.” – Robert B. Beattie
