News Summary

Charlotte is gearing up for an exciting New Year’s Eve with its annual CLT NYE event moving to Truist Field. This year promises enhanced safety and a festive atmosphere for families and friends. The celebration features a ticketed skating rink and a complimentary toast at midnight. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department is implementing security measures to ensure a smooth event. Early activities include the ‘Light the Knights Festival,’ adding to the spirit of the night. Despite last year’s incident, this year’s venue aims to make ringing in the New Year memorable.

Charlotte Welcomes a Sparkling New Year!

Charlotte is buzzing with excitement as preparations are underway for this year’s highly anticipated New Year’s Eve celebration. For the first time ever, the big event, known as CLT NYE, is moving to Truist Field, promising a night of fun and festivities with enhanced safety measures. This change follows a concerning incident last year in Romare Bearden Park that left five individuals injured.

New Venue, New Vibes

Previously, the celebration took place at Levine Avenue of the Arts, featuring a fireworks display that drew in crowds eager to ring in the New Year. This year, however, attendees will gather within the cozy confines of Truist Field from 10 PM to midnight. The spacious stadium is poised to offer a warm and exciting atmosphere, perfect for families and friends looking to celebrate together.

Get Your Tickets!

It’s important to note that CLT NYE is a separately ticketed affair. Standard admission is set at a very affordable $10, while a premium ticket for $25 grants access to the ever-popular skating rink—available until 11:30 PM. With the Charlotte Knights hosting this event, it’s no wonder that all tickets have already sold out. If you didn’t snag one this time, don’t worry; there are plenty of other ways to celebrate in Charlotte!

Safety First!

The decision to relocate the festivities to Truist Field comes with a strong emphasis on safety. The venue’s design lends itself well to managing large crowds, similar to the days of Knights games. Enhanced security measures will be in place to search attendees as they enter a secured perimeter, ensuring everyone feels safe and sound while partying the night away.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) is on the ball, with officers strategically positioned at both the field and surrounding areas. In a proactive effort, CMPD is even reaching out to the homes of repeat juvenile offenders in an attempt to prevent any trouble during the much-anticipated celebration.

Festive Revelries Galore!

“Light the Knights Festival”, running from 2 PM to 9 PM. It will be a day filled with fun activities, all leading up to that unforgettable moment when the clock strikes midnight.

When that coveted hour arrives, attendees at Truist Field will be treated to a complimentary glass of apple cider or a toast of champagne for party-goers aged 21 and older. What a delightful way to welcome the New Year!

What Lies Ahead?

As we all look forward to this joyous occasion, there’s a touch of uncertainty regarding the future of the partnership between the Knights and Charlotte Center City Partners. Will this partnership continue after this year’s celebration? Only time will tell.
