Upper Macungie continued its New Year’s tradition sponsoring a Kids Noon Years Eve Party at Grange Park on Dec. 31, 2024.
The annual event has become a favorite among township residents, as well as visitors from throughout the Lehigh Valley.
More than 1,000 balloons topped with beach balls were included in the 2024 drop.
The western end of the park was filled with commercial vendors, public service providers and lots of visitors.
As always, there was a wide range of food available to feed even the hungriest of those attending the party.
