The biggest party south of Times Square takes place every year in Sarasota, Florida on New Year's Eve. Blocks of live music, rides, games, food and fun take place at the intersection of Main Street and Lemon Avenue in downtown Sarasota. Full carnival rides and attractions start the day off with fun for the whole family. After dark, downtown transforms into a huge nightclub and party with live bands and DJ's performing on 4 stages and the giant pineapple drops at midnight.
