CLARKSVILLE, TN − Montgomery County will host its second New Year’s Eve Party at the Downtown Commons, at 215 Legion Street, on December 31, 2024, beginning at 9:00 p.m. Guests will enjoy live music, food trucks, drinks, and a balloon drop to celebrate the start of 2025!

In its first year, this free and open-to-the-public event was a huge success, with over 2,500 guests showing up to ring in 2024.

“We were completely blown away by the community support last year and have decided to go even bigger to accommodate the 4,000 guests we are expecting,” said Montgomery County Mayor Wesley Golden. “We will be completely tenting the Downtown Commons turf, doubling the interior seating, and adding to the dance floor, with the same entertainment with a 10-piece band, food trucks, and a photo-booth trailer!”

Austin Peay State University proudly serves as the presenting sponsor of the evening, ensuring a night to remember! Austin Peay will bring the party to life with a special surprise during the event. The night will conclude with a balloon drop in Austin Peay’s signature colors: red, white, and black.

Austin Peay will also offer free parking on Tuesday, December 31, 2024, with the exception of Lots 22, 23, 77, and 28, which will be reserved for event preparations. Please visit //apsu.edu/parking for more information.

We encourage visitors to start their evening by dining at one of our downtown Clarksville restaurants. Beginning at 9:00 p.m., guests can explore a variety of food options on-site at the Downtown Commons. Enjoy delicious offerings from Wolf Down or choose from food trucks like Blondie & Brownie, Say Cheese Please, Fryz Wit Dat, and Smash’n Beef Co. Thanks to our bar sponsor, TriStar Beverage, refreshments will be available at three digital cash bars throughout the night.
