Forget the ball drop! Ring in the new year with a giant inflatable donut at the New Year’s Eve Donut Drop at 11 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 31, at the Lakeside Pavilion.
Enjoy music, free donuts from The Patio Restaurant, hot chocolate and a blessing for the year ahead before watching the oversized sweet treat drop at midnight. It’s a quirky Lakeside tradition and a delicious way to welcome 2027.
In the case of inclement weather, the celebration will move to the Pavilion Upper Room.
