There were fireworks put on by Edgewater Casino.
I think the city does well at organizing the fireworks, however, brand.Live organizes it now. The city really sucked the big one with the Jazz Fest and other fests though. The city in general needs more events and NYE should be first on the list. The tree lighting ceremony at Jack Poole Plaza needs more pizazz as well. I think if they could shell out 100,000 to bring in a decent music artist, that would be a start.
