Neon Countdown 2023 Presented By Provo Parks and Recreation

Come party at the Provo City New Year’s Eve party. The theme this year is neon, so people will come wearing their craziest and brightest outfits! This event is designed all ages and is happening on December 31 from 7 PM – 12 AM at the Provo Recreation Center. Have fun with inflatables, laser tag, face painting, dancing, New Year’s crafts, virtual reality, and more. Two stages of entertainment acts will have you laughing at magicians, wondering at hypnotists, marveling at neon science experiments, and more. Tickets are on sale now.

If you want spectacle but don’t want a party, you can ring in the New Year in the Provo Recreation Center Parking Lot. Two fireworks shows will take place at 9 PM and midnight respectively. Unlike the Neon Countdown 2023 party inside, participation in this part of the event is free.

Heart & Seoul Karaoke
