This year, the City of Apopka is teaming up with some of our most vibrant local businesses and organizations to bring an unforgettable New Year’s Eve celebration right to Downtown Apopka. Fifth Street is turning into a full-blown festival — food, drinks, music, art, fire, and an NYC-style ball drop you won’t find anywhere else in Central Florida.

ENTERTAINMENT ALL NIGHT

8 PM–Midnight: After Five hits the stage to rock us straight into 2026. Fresh off Judson’s Live at the Dr. Phillips Center, this hometown-connected band is ready to deliver a show worthy of the big night.

FIRE • ACTION • SPECTACLE
Forget fireworks. We’re bringing the heat Apopka-style.
Central Florida Tang Soo Do will put on a live FIRE BOARD BREAKING performance. Yes… the boards are actually on fire. Yes… they’re breaking them. And yes… it’s safe
FAMILY FRIENDLY → PARTY MODE
Enjoy a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere early in the evening — and then as the night goes on, expect the energy to rise (responsibly and joyfully)
