New Years Eve means fireworks, first night and fun • St Pete Catalyst
On New Years Eve, the town of St. Pete is ice skating under the stars at The Pier. The rink has been there since November 20, as part of the Winter Beach attraction, but it is a special "Midnight Skate" event, with extended hours.
For the $ 17 admission, you get 75 minutes on the ice, skate rental included, from 11 a.m. on December 31 to 12:30 a.m. on January 1. Did Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson mean by the song "Skating Away on the Thin Ice?" of the New Day "?
The pier will detonate fireworks at 8 p.m., then at midnight.

For the first time, things include a special children's entertainment area and a festival on the pier, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. boul. Bayshore for the everlasting first night favorite, the wrap wrap. The Tampa Bay Watch Discovery Center is also involved.
