The Town of Greeneville announces the theme of this year’s Midnight on Main as “Yeti to Party.” The 11th annual event is an all-ages New Year’s Eve street party that occurs on two blocks, centered at Main and Depot Streets. This year, early snowstorms served as the inspiration for a winter carnival featuring the lovable Yeti character, also known as the Abominable Snowman.
Starting at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, December 31st, partygoers can enjoy music from DJ Lee Cash and children can play free winter carnival games, such “Yeti Yeet” and “Snowball Sling,” for a chance to win prizes. Resolutions will be collected throughout the night to become part of the glittering ball drop at midnight. The entire event will culminate with amazing rooftop fireworks. Party favors will be given to the first 100 people with a choice of hat, tiara, or paper eyeglasses.

The Kids’ Zone will be set up in the Fellowship Hall at the First Presbyterian Church at 110 N Main Street. Follow the signs to the entrance.
