Downtown Herndon, Virginia Kicks off New Year’s Eve at
ArtSpace Herndon
ArtSpace Herndon will again host a gala on New Year’s Eve, Monday, December 31, 2012, from 7 p.m.to 12:30 a.m.
Historic Herndon’s traditional New Year’s Eve Celebration features family-friendly activities.
The family-friendly celebration begins inside the gallery at 7 p.m. Melanie Stanley will tell her original story
about the last train leaving Herndon on the W&OD. Local folk singer Bill Davis will tell his original tall tales
in song. Leslie’s hoops will astound young and old alike.
The celebration moves outside at 9 p.m. for the main event–a bonfire with pine cone colored flames leaping into the
air. At the bonfire, Bill Davis will “conduct” a People’s Band and Sun Dance Performance will lead the audience in “First Foote” folk dances. Complimentary hot cocoa and cookies will be served inside the gallery.
The celebration moves back into the Post Gallery at 10 p.m. where jazz band leader Al Robertson will host
Herndon’s very own “Tonight Show,” featuring the best in local performers. Light refreshments.
The event is free and open to the public. Due to seating limitations, passes are required for the 10 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. post-bonfire celebration. 100 complimentary passes will be distributed the night of the event. While there is no admission charge, guests are encouraged to bring cookies and other finger foods as donations to share with their neighbors. All are invited to bring a musical instrument to play in the People’s Band.
This New Year’s Eve Celebration is produced by the Events Committee at ArtSpace Herndon with the kind sponsorship of local businesses, The Council for the Arts of Herndon, the Reston Bike Club, and the Town of Herndon Cultivating Community Initiative
