PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (Dec. 16, 2008) ? Celebrate the start of 2009 with a bounce and a bang at the New Year's Eve ?Beach Ball Drop? in Panama City Beach, Fla. Presented by Margaritaville and hosted by Pier Park, this first annual event rings in the New Year with live entertainment and fun activities for the whole family, including a spectacular fireworks display, amidst dazzling beaches and holiday lights.
Creating its own beachside version of Times Square, Panama City Beach will close the roads of Pier Park for pedestrian traffic only and host a street festival with live music, food, festivities and more. To mark the start of the New Year, a larger-than-life illuminated beach ball will slowly descend from a 120 ft. tower, 12 stories high, at the stroke of midnight.
?The Beach Ball Drop is the first of what promises to become an annual tradition at Pier Park, Northwest Florida's largest shopping, dining and entertainment venue,? remarks Felicia Cook, Director of Mall Marketing for Simon Property Group. ?We are thrilled to play host to this one-of-a-kind New Year?s Eve event and look forward to ringing in the New Year in Panama City Beach.?
Festivities begin at 5:30 p.m. with exciting activities for the entire family including live music, food, bounce houses, stilt walkers and face painters and a Florida Lottery Prize Zone. The New Year?s Eve countdown celebration starts at 9:00 p.m. with more live entertainment, leading up to the awaited Beach Ball Drop at midnight. The evening will culminate with a spectacular fireworks show over the emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
?The New Year?s Eve Beach Ball Drop provides the perfect opportunity to visit Panama City Beach and become a part of history,? states Dan Rowe, president and CEO of the Panama City Beach Convention and Visitor?s Bureau. ?We welcome locals and visitors alike to join us for a weekend of cheer and celebration as we kick-off 2009 in the world?s most beautiful beach destination.?
The Panama City Beach New Year's Eve ?Beach Ball Drop? is free to the public and will be held at 600 Pier Park Drive in Panama City Beach, Fla. Festivities will be simulcast on Clear Channel stations WPAP-FM, WFSY-FM and WEBZ-FM.

I believe that for next year, Dec 31 2009, WaterColor is planning on having fireworks, since there are no pro shows in SoWal, in the 30A area. I must say that the amateur shows around here are quite amazing, with some people likely spending $10,000+ for July 4.
