The time is drawing near and we will soon be bringing in the new year – leaving the old year behind in order to escort in the new decade!
In hopes of being helpful, I compiled a list of 10 ways to Ring in the New Year in Fredericton including family fun, ski hill celebrations, hotel shows that will definitely rock, Fredericton’s first Drag cabaret & comedy show and much more!! Check out all the details in my Fredericton Tourism blog by clicking HERE.
