Downtown Countdown

Sunday, December 31, 2023 @ 6:00 pm

Barrie Downtown Countdown

Ring in the New Year in downtown Barrie! Since 1998, the Downtown Countdown has brought thousands from near and far together to celebrate the arrival of the new year.

This free evening of fun and celebration is one of Central Ontario’s largest celebrations. In addition to the musical performances, the Downtown Countdown celebration includes family activities, roaming buskers and two fireworks shows – the first at approximately 8pm and the second at midnight.

Activities
Between 6pm & midnight, under the twinkling lights on the arch of Old City Hall, enjoy:

Skating on the Circle at the Centre rink (open weather-dependent).
Indoor change rooms available. Skate and helmet rentals available.
Roaming performers
Family fun: face painting, inflatables and more!
Bonfire warming zone
Food vendors
Two fireworks shows! The first at 8pm following the family celebration and the second at midnight to ring in 2024. Fireworks will be viewable from various vantage points along the waterfront, but best viewed closer to Barrie’s downtown.
