Ring in the New Year in South Haven where we close our streets, drop a thousand beach balls from the city center, and dazzle you with fireworks at midnight! We have lodging opportunities where you can stay, play, and be safe during a night of celebration for the whole family! As you stroll our streets, stop by our warming stations hosted by select merchants who will welcome you with warmth and surprises. As the night progresses, immerse yourself in local cuisine, spirits, and shopping while vibing with DJ Guy Voss keeping your spirits alive under the moonlight. Put on your party hats, dress to impress, find a front-row seat for the festivities, and book your stay at southhaven.org before time runs out!
