New Year’s Eve celebration set
POIPU — Poipu Beach Resort Association is hosting a New Year’s Eve celebration on Sunday at Poipu Beach Park.
The fun-filled family event, which is free and open to the public, begins at 5 p.m. with food trucks, a movie in the park and culminates with a fireworks show at 8:15.
The feature presentation is Dreamwork’s Animation, “Boss Baby,” and will begin at sunset.
Parking in the Poipu area is limited. Additional parking will be available on the grassy area off of Hoowili Road. Those who live or are staying in the area are encouraged to walk or bike to the park.
As a safety precaution, the keiki lagoon at Poipu will be closed Sunday.
The fireworks show hosted by Poipu Beach Resort Association is a long-standing New Year’s Eve tradition.
That looks like fun. For me, we’ll probably stay home and light some fireworks if we buy some today at Wal-mart. It has become a tradition, watch football, eat or bake cake or pie, and light a few fireworks in front of the house. But a lot goes into it, so it’s a waiting game every year to complete. Fun filled end of year excitement.
