Ring in the new year with a giant electronic MoonPie drop AND a LIVE MUSIC PERFORMANCES! This free event, in its 18th year, has grown to more than 50,000 revelers filling the streets with the festive vibe Mobile is known for. This year’s celebration will have locals and visitors dancing in the streets to the sounds of a national recording act and local opening act to be named in September!
Festivities on NYE during the day include a Kids Zone from 11 AM to 1 PM with family-friendly fun in Mardi Gras Park and a Noon MoonPie Drop for the kids. In the evening, there will be a Best Decorated Umbrella Contest at 7:30 PM, the cutting of the world’s largest, edible MoonPie at 7:45 PM, and a second line parade at 8:10 PM led by the Port City Secondliners and the Jukebox Brass Band to the main stage to kick off the evening’s live music.
Moments before midnight, we will count down into the new year while the street party peaks with the ceremonial dropping of the world’s largest, electronic MoonPie as the clock strikes 2026. The 12-foot-tall MoonPie will descend from the 34-story RSA Trustmark skyrise to welcome in the new year and the beginning of Mobile’s Mardi Gras season.
Guaranteed to be the best New Year’s Eve celebration in the South, it’s the perfect time to experience the magic of Mobile.
