Justin Bieber had a busy and productive year in 2012, so it was fitting that he capped it off by performing on 'Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve' to ring in 2013 from Los Angeles. He closed the chapter on 2012 with a Bieber bang. But not Bieber bangs, since his hair was spiked!
Everyone knows about the ball that drops in New York City's Times Square to mark the start of a new calendar year. What you may not realize, though, is that other cities around the nation have similar traditions that entertain and enthrall their local communities. Here's a look at some of the odder traditions that will be taking place in America tonight:
December 31, 2012 Finally an Upper Cape First Night! No need to drive to Chatham anymore! Sandwich hosts celebrations tonight! All kinds of activities for all ages from some of the great people and organizations within the community.
We're going to make a pretty huge statement right now ladies and gents, so brace yourselves: photobombing is hands down the best way to capture any sort of moment. Ruining a picture with that unexpectedly hilarious face or the addition of a random stranger in a photo simply adds that extra oomph needed to bring a picture to the next level. Plus, it's just funny stuff.
December 31, 2012 The City of Fall River will ring in the New Year with many activities for everyone to enjoy on the first day of 2013.
December 31, 2012 Looking to celebrate the New Year with the entire family? Aha has put together a ton of activities in Downtown New Bedford beginning Monday afternoon.
December 31, 2012 Yet another reason not to drive if you are drinking on New Year's Eve. Southcoast Towing is offering free rides and towing to intoxicated drivers. It's part of the "Safe Rides Home" program that was started in 2002.
EDM is where it's at on New Year's Eve this year. Skrillex, Calvin Harris, Afrojack, Avicii and Moby are among the electronic artists ringing in 2013 with live performances across the country.
December 28, 2012 "I'm going to spend more time with family and friends." "I will definitely exercise more often." "I'm going to lose weight this year." I'm finally going to get out of debt." "This is the year I'll quit smoking and quit drinking." "I'm going to get organized and enjoy life more." How many of those resolutions have you broken over the years?
When it comes time to celebrate the passing of another year, people around the world often gather together and make a lot of noise in order to demonstrate their good cheer.
