As the final days of 2023 wind down and the excitement for the coming year grows, Devonport is once again set to host its signature New Year’s Eve event, Eve in the City. A tradition on the Northwest Coast, this grand celebration promises residents and visitors an unforgettable evening as we bid farewell to 2023 and usher in 2024 with jubilation and fervor.
Entertainment Galore!
There’s something for everyone! Families can anticipate a whirlwind of activities and entertainment options. Revel in live performances that’ll get your feet tapping.
