In with the new, out with the auld lang syne!

For many of us, 2016 was a dumpster fire of a year, and we cannot wait to move on to the next big thing. But you can use the final night of the year excorcise the demons of 2016, get silly with your friends, and start 2017 with a whole new attitude — or possibly just a whole new hangover. Here are some of the many spots in Brooklyn where it will all shake out:

What a blast!

This annual fireworks display over Prospect Park will be a stand-out extravaganza, packing extra fireworks into the almost-half hour show in order to celebrate the park entering its 150th year.
