How to Do NYE in Easton: Rock-n-Ramble

As First Night Talbot has slowly faded and now officially come to a close (thank you Carolyn Jaffe for a legacy of NYE fun!), the Avalon Theatre is proud to step up and fill the New Year’s Eve entertainment gap with Rock-n-Ramble, a lively, music-forward celebration in the heart of Easton, MD. On December 31, we’ll do what we do best—bring people together through live music—with four bands rocking the Avalon main stage, while our friends at The Groove/Factory Arts Project transform the Stoltz Listening Room into a high-energy Silent Disco. Guests can fuel their fun with Ava’s Pizza and other food offerings available at the lobby bar starting at 6pm, then join a whimsical parade of Bay Creatures—created by artist Maggii Sarfaty—as they lead the crowd outside for the iconic Crab Drop at 9pm and again at midnight. We’re thrilled to celebrate creativity, community, and a brand-new tradition with you—thank you for an incredible year, and here’s to ringing in the next one together.
