Local hotels, restaurants and bars offer specials for first ever New Year’s Eve Celebration in downtown Redlands

“As far as we are concerned there is no better place to welcome in the New Year, than in downtown Redlands” said Chamber President Todd Underwood, “For years we have been looking for a way to showcase Redlands hospitality industry and when we learned about the city’s amazing holiday plans we decided this was the year to ring in the New Year in Redlands.”

The Chamber of Commerce and the city of Redlands have joined forces to make the holiday experience one to be remembered. Downtown Redlands will be decked out beginning in November luring shoppers, dinners and revelers to downtown. From spectacular lighted arches announcing your arrival to picturesque State Street, to fairy lighted trees and the sounds of seasonal music radiating throughout there will be much to celebrate in Redlands.

In an impressive way to say good bye to 2017 and welcome 2018 a brilliant 8 foot Orange will be dropped at precisely midnight at the corner of Orange and State Streets. The drop will be followed by a dazzling fireworks display, making 2018 official.

While waiting for the stroke of midnight thousands will enjoy the offerings of local restaurants, bars and special promotions at local hotels. From Orange Drop Martinis to Orange chicken menu specialties Redlands will see in the new start to the New Year in style.

The Speakeasy on State has a VIP party to end all New Year’s Eve events. Tickets will include private parking and a reserved Orange Drop Viewing area, Hor’s d’oeuvres to dinner and dancing along with an all-night bar and Champagne Toast at midnight. Tickets are available on EventBrite.com.

Outside a DJ and MCs will keep the crowds entertained until the official count down. The festivities will begin at 6:00 PM. Sponsored by Mirau, Edwards, Cannon, Lewin and Tooke, The Teamsters 1932, and Brixton Capital, the 2017 New Year’s Eve Celebration in downtown Redlands will be an extravaganza talked about all year.

“Should old acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind?” – Not in Redlands this New Year’s Eve!

The Redlands Chamber of Commerce and the City of Redlands will present for the first time ever, the Orange Drop in downtown Redlands. Sponsored by Mirau, Edward, Cannon, Lewin and Tooke, and Teamsters 1932, the downtown event will celebrate the arrival of 2018 with great flare.

Just like the world famous party in Time Square, New York, Redlands residents and visitors will countdown the minutes until midnight when a spectacular lighted twelve foot orange will descend announcing the New Year.

Restaurants and bars will swing open their doors offering signature tastes enticing customers to join in the fun in each of their establishments.

Local hotels will offer New Year’s packages that will include transportation to and from downtown Redlands, so guest won’t have to worry about driving or parking.

Downtown streets will be closed to vehicle traffic so pedestrians can travel from restaurant to tavern throughout the downtown area.

DJ and MCs will keep the crowds entertained with interesting Redlands and New Year’s facts, dancing in the street and of course the official count down. The festivities will begin at 6:00 PM and of course the anticipated “DROP” at the stroke of midnight.

For those party goers that prefer a more traditional celebration, Speakeasy on State Street will host a VIP party that will include a Hor’s d’Oeuvres, buffet dinner, dessert bar, no host bar, dancing to the Secret Jazz Band, reserved parking and a private VIP viewing area to witness the Orange Drop. Tickets will be available on line at EventBrite.com starting October.
