The Baytowne Countdown is returning to the The Village of Baytowne Wharf for another year of festive celebrations and this year it’s bigger and better than ever! From live music to family-friendly activities, there’s something for everyone to enjoy on New Year’s Eve.

New for this year is an impressive drone light show that will light up the night sky over the lagoon. This first-of-its-kind show for our area will feature 100 drones creating incredible displays, including a swimming dolphin and dancing music notes. The drone show starts at 10pm.

In addition to the drone show, the Baytowne Countdown will also feature two fireworks displays at 8pm and midnight. The evening will kick off with family-friendly activities from 6pm to 8pm, including face painting, kids activities, and live music from DJ TreVy on the Baytowne LIVE stage.

  • For those looking to continue the party into the night, the Bay Kings Band will be performing on the Events Plaza Stage from 7pm until 1am. And don’t forget to stick around for the midnight fireworks show to ring in 2023 in style!

The Baytowne Countdown is free and open to the public, but please note that anyone under the age of 21 must be accompanied by a legal guardian after 10pm.
