Opening Night 2007 was a blast! Great performances from music to dance to plays to comedians to improv to magic shows and finally fireworks... It's always the most eventful night of the year. We got a much better fireworks spot this year- last year we had to watch the reflection of them... haha. Opening Night is just such a great atmosphere and there's something to do for everyone.
Ice Sculpture... HAPPY NEW YEAR, and also HAPPY CENTENNIAL!
Canal... (This was right after midnight, I guess everyone is still downtown- it was super quiet. We booked it out of there to stay out of traffic!)
Japanese Drum Performance, and the skyline.
A stroll through the Myriad Gardens...
A fun tropical-sounding band was playing in the Crystal Bridge.
Ice Rink in front of the Civic Center
Entering the CBD from the Arts District...
In front of First National...
Here's the stage and the ball. It was such a fun atmosphere for the last 30 minutes especially. Great experience!
So many people! This was the warmest part of the night because everyone was in one place...
The nightmare of a traffic jam that always follows Opening Night... Even the horse-drawn carriages got caught in it! I don't think I've ever heard so much honking at once...
Hope you enjoyed the pictures... I'm getting better with this nighttime photo feature...
