MIAMI – Bayfront Park is once again hosting their 2023 New Year’s Eve event with plans for a free outdoor concert with a fireworks display and it’s almost time to get the party started.

The event will take place at 301 Biscayne Blvd on Saturday from 6 p.m. to midnight.

Miguel Ferro, the Executive Director at Bayfront Park told Local 10 News that he is expecting more than 150,000 people to attend.

Performing will be Latin Grammy Award winners like Willy Chirino, along with countless other performers.

“Willy Chirino, Arturo Sandoval….I can’t stop naming them all,” said Ferro. “The most fun of it is these are local artists, these are Miami artists, and what a best way to celebrate the New Year with our very own people.”

Local 10 News spoke with Miami-Dade County residents who are ready to bring the new year are hoping that their resolution come true.
