Cool Spring Downtown District and the City of Fayetteville are pleased to announce the return of Night Circus: A District New Year’s Eve Spectacular for the third year. Last year, organizers were proud to host one of the best NYE parties around, with Grammy-nominated Tony! Toni! Tone! heating the stage as we rang in 2022. For 2023, the stage will come alive with the vibrant beats of Grammy-award winning DJ and rapper, Spinderella, along with Soul Train Music award-winning group, Dru Hill. 

Jam-packed with a variety of carnival attractions including stilt walkers, fire dancers, roving magicians, festive food, live music, and more, the Night Circus NYE Spectacular atmosphere will be alive with color, lights, and sound. A selection of your favorite food trucks will be on the scene with tasty treats to delight the senses.  

Attendees will be drawn in by the rousing party rhythms of local DJs and local musicians, amping the crowd energy leading up to DJ Spinderella and Dru Hill taking the party to the next level. At midnight, as we transition from 2023 to 2024, organizers will raise the large radiant 18ft multi-colored star into the sky – a symbol of our City – that will be visible from a distance, illuminated by a spectacular burst of fireworks, as our community rings in the New Year in amplified fashion.
