Where to Ring in 2017 in Vancouver

The ball is about to drop. Which for some, means a night on the couch with a food hang-over of the best-worst kind. For others, it means a night out on the town. We’re talking New Year’s Eve and thankfully, there’s no shortage of events for the enjoying. —Aurea Dempsey

Concord’s New Year’s Eve Fireworks Celebration: When you consider this event drew over 80,000 people last year, you know it’s a big deal. It’s also free, and open to all ages. There’s two outdoor stages, over 20 food trucks, a family fireworks display at 9pm, then another at midnight. NYEvan.com
