Organizers were eager to welcome the event back to downtown Roanoke after having to cancel it last year because of COVID-19 restrictions.

Live music, games, food, and drinks brought people from all over to Center in the Square and the City Market building to celebrate the annual tradition.
Masks were required at all indoor events throughout the evening.
“It’s unbelievable, the feeling of gratitude throughout the day is indescribable to not be able to host the event last year it’s honestly one of my absolute favorite things that we get to do because it’s around a holiday that hope that happens at 11:59pm you can feel it in the air because we all want the next year to always be better than the one before,” JD Sutphin with Big Lick Entertainment said.
Benefits from the event go toward Center in the Square.
