New Year Eve Concerts in Historic Downtown Churches
There’s no better way to ring in the new year than with music. Tour the various historic churches throughout downtown Brockville and take in some of the best in local music while counting down the hours towards the new year. It all ends with one final concert at 11pm to ring in the new year at the stroke of midnight!
