Noon Day Balloon Drop

The St. George Children's Museum in downtown St. George holds its Noon Day Drop on Thursday, December 31, 2026, a kid-friendly New Year's Eve celebration that counts down to noon instead of midnight. The museum calls it one of its favorite family traditions, with kid-friendly activities, celebration and New Year's fun. The museum's event banner lists the Noon Day Balloon Drop from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., with limited tickets at $10 general admission and $5 for members, but the events page says more details and registration information will be announced in December, so confirm times and prices with the museum before you go. Registration for museum events can fill quickly. The museum is at 86 S Main St, and its regular fall hours run Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Questions go to (435) 986-4000. For an evening option the same night, Washington City has New Year's Eve fireworks at 10 p.m. For more holiday outings, see our Christmas events in Southern Utah guide.
