It’s the party of the year, and you’re invited.
Final preparations are complete at Nathan Phillips Square, where in a matter of hours the biggest and brightest New Year’s Eve party in town will be welcoming the New Year.
It’s Citytv‘s 23rd annual bash at the Square, and there’s more than one way to catch it. Of course you can watch the festivities from home on Citytv from 11pm on with hosts Kevin Frankish, Dina Pugliese, Gord Martineau and Kathryn Humphreys.
Or you can come on down to Nathan Phillips Square and join the tens of thousands of other partiers ringing in 2008. It all started at 8pm with live performances from Roz Bell and J Diggz, the cast of We Will Rock You! as well as Grammy-nominated band Plain White T’s. Citytv personalities Merella Fernandez and Dwight Drummond were on hand for the preshow kicking off what is, as always, an alcohol-free event.
“Every year just gets bigger and better,” notes Tina Cortese, Director of News Programming for Citytv and CP24. “We will be handing out free hot chocolate and free coffee, but again you want to dress warmly. Dress the kids warmly and you’re going to have a great time.”
Getting to and from the Square is easy using public transit, and the TTC will be running free service from midnight to 4am.
Starting at 7pm, GO Transit ia providing free rides, as are transit services in Mississauga and York Region. Durham Transit starts its free service at 8pm.
Remember to bundle up, as the forecast is calling for snow overnight Monday into Tuesday.
