ABOUT THE SHOW
New Year, New Light is a pyro-musical, meaning every firework is choreographed to music and will be broadcasted live on 107.1 FM. For the best experience, please park facing south toward the fireworks launch site.

 

GUEST ADVISORY: Pyro-Musical Content Notice

As part of the experience, one segment of the show is designed as a powerful and emotional portrayal of the inner experiences of military service. This artistic portion reflects the intensity and reality faced by those who serve.

While the event is intended to be family-friendly, guests should be aware that the opening song following the National Anthem includes brief explicit language (three instances occurring close together). Guests who prefer to avoid this language may temporarily lower or mute their vehicle radio during this portion. No additional explicit language is included for the remainder of the display.


INFORMATION ON SURRONDING AREAS
Individuals choosing to view the fireworks from surrounding areas are kindly reminded to: Starion Sports Complex and Tennis Center is available for parking.


If parking on public roads or in the general area of Mandan High School

  • Be respectful of neighborhood driveways
