In Metro Richmond, Noon Year’s Day has become one of our favorite ways to welcome a fresh start: right in the heart of the day. Families gather, the kids are excited, and the countdown feels just as magical at noon as it does at midnight. It’s a celebration built for little ones, but loved by grown‑ups too: confetti, crafts, music, and that shared moment when everyone shouts Happy Noon Year together.
What to Expect
Many Noon Year's Eve events include celebratory snacks, arts & crafts activities, music, and/or countdowns. Select libraries are adding storytime and crafts to their Noon Year’s celebrations. ComedySportz and Pine Camp Arts & Community Center will host comedy shows, while several play places and entertainment centers host parties. Ashland Skateland, Twin Hickory Library and OFF The WALL, Indoor Bounce & Party Place are a few locations that will host mid-afternoon NYE events.
