In true 2020 fashion, many traditional Orlando New Year’s events have been cancelled for this season. Even the theme parks will close early with SeaWorld being the sole attraction to stay open past midnight. Of course, while many of us understand the necessity for these closures, we’d still like to find a way to mark the beginning of 2021 with some sort of celebration. Here are 3 FREE, OUTDOOR events where you can wear a mask, follow the distancing guidelines, and ring in your Orlando New Year’s Eve with festivities and fireworks.
**Disclaimer: While there is hope on the horizon, COVID-19 is still a very real threat to you and your family’s health. Attend these Orlando New Year’s Eve events at your own risk, and please wear a mask and follow social distancing guidelines.**
