Celebrate the new year Friday during the day at Knock Knock
Join the Knock Knock Children’s Museum for a special family-friendly New Year’s Eve celebration this Friday, Dec. 31.
Because this event is happening a little early, Knock Knock is cleverly calling it “Noon Year’s Eve.” While adults will watch the ball drop at midnight on Friday, the kiddos can get in on the fun by watching a hand-crafted ball drop at noon. There will also be programs and presentations that will teach children how other parts of the world ring in the new year.
“Noon Year’s Eve” is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with the ball dropping at noon. There are no tickets, but you do have to register and pay the regular admission price of $14. Knock Knock Children’s Museum is at 1900 Dalrymple Drive.
Enjoy one last country concert of 2021 Friday
This Friday, Dec. 31, the Texas Club welcomes Trey Gallman and Dustin Lee Guedry for a New Year’s Eve celebration.

Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and the show starts at 9 p.m. Tickets start at $15. The Texas Club is at 456 N. Donmoor Ave.
