• Rock the night away at the "Seacoast Rockin' New Year's Eve Dance and International Hot Dog Festival" in Portsmouth. Jumbo Circus Peanuts will be playing at this dance, and I can tell you they are fabulous and so much fun to hear and dance to. The first time I heard them play was this past summer at during Market Square Day. They were AWESOME!! This dance and festival will be at the VFW Ballroom in downtown Portsmouth, starting at 8pm. Great music and hot dogs and sausage sandwiches from around the world will be part of this fun New Year's Eve celebration.

• And of course, the granddaddy of all Portsmouth celebrations is the Annual First Night Portsmouth New Year's Eve Celebration.

  The fun festivities here start at 1pm in the center of downtown with ice sculptures being carved and continues through to midnight. Street dances begin at 5:00pm, fireworks begin at 7:30pm, with the countdown to the New Year at midnight in the heart of Market Square.
