City of Crown Point NYE Ball Drop

Join the City of Crown Point at our first-ever Ball Drop downtown from 𝟭𝟬 𝗽.𝗺. 𝘁𝗼 𝟭 𝗮.𝗺. 𝗧𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗗𝗲𝗰. 𝟯𝟭, at Clark and Main streets.

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.  

“Our team has been planning this event for two years,” Crown Point Mayor Pete Land said. “We’re  looking forward to kicking off the New Year with what will hopefully become a signature event for  our City and Northwest Indiana.” 

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 Year’s  Eve. The couple shared one of their first dates at Square Roots in Crown Point.  

“We want this event to scream Crown Point. Having this couple close out 2024 and count down to  2025 with us is the perfect fit,” Land said.  

The City worked with Herman’s 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 Year’s  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 City’s Facebook page, @CityofCrownPointIN, closer to the event date.

Sponsors include Butler Fairman  & Seufert; Centier Bank; Commonwealth Engineers, Inc.; Culver's; Get Loud Entertainment; LGS  Plumbing, Inc.; Premier Porta Potties; Puntillo & Crane Orthodontics; and Quality Impressions Print  & Design.
