New Year's Eve with kids looks little bit different than those pre-children celebrations, but that's doesn't mean it has to be boring! Ring in 2024 in style at one of several family-friendly New Year's Eve events in the DC area.

We've rounded up the area's fireworks, drone shows, noontime parties, ball drops, and other things to do on New Year's Eve in DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia. Early birds can go to a Noon Year's Eve party at Yards Park or the B&O Railroad Museum. Families with older kids might enjoy nighttime parties like the popular First Night Alexandria or the new New Year's Eve Drone & Fireworks Show in Baltimore's Inner Harbor.

Still clinging to Christmas? Most holiday light shows in the area are open on New Year's Eve, or you can get tickets to a holiday performance before they end their seasonal runs. Happy New Year!
