Crown Point is ringing in 2025 with a new event.
For the first time, the City of Crown Point is hosting a ball drop downtown at Clark and Main streets. The free, family friendly event takes place outdoors from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 31, rain, snow or shine. There will be outdoor heaters at the event. Please dress for the weather.
โOur team has been planning this event for two years,โ Crown Point Mayor Pete Land said. โWeโre looking forward to kicking off the New Year with what will hopefully become a signature event for our City and Northwest Indiana.โ
Festivities include a beer garden, DJ, fireworks, glow vendors and a countdown. The countdown will be led by Land and a couple getting married at the historic Lake County Courthouse on New Yearโs Eve. The couple shared one of their first dates at Square Roots in Crown Point.
โWe want this event to scream Crown Point. Having this couple close out 2024 and count down to 2025 with us is the perfect fit,โ Land said.
The City worked with Hermanโs Christmasland in Pierceton, Indiana, to design the ball, which will drop from a bucket truck at Clark and Main streets. While the design is under wraps until New Yearโs Eve, Land said it incorporates recognizable elements of the Hub City.
Main Street will be closed from Joliet to Clark streets beginning at 2 p.m. Dec. 31. No parking will be permitted after 2 p.m. Clark Street will be closed at East and Main streets beginning at 4 p.m.
Beginning at 5:30 p.m., the trolley will visit municipal parking lots around downtown to bring attendees to the event.
Some local businesses downtown will have extended hours and specials for the event. For a list, visit the Cityโs Facebook page, @CityofCrownPointIN, closer to the event date.
