Bay Street Yard is ringing in the New Year in fashion with live music, games, food trucks and a midnight champagne toast.

The festivities begin at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 31 with a live performance by Eric Michael Taylor from 2 to 5 p.m., followed by Chasing Denver from 6 to 9 p.m. The party continues with tunes spun by DJ Ian Kelley from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m.

The celebration extends beyond the walls of Bay Street Yard with a block party starting at 4 p.m. Guests can ride into 2026 with a mechanical bull and enjoy street-side food and drinks, games of cornhole and beer pong just outside of Bay Street Yard’s gates. Throughout the day, guests can also enjoy a variety of signature dishes from Bay Street Yard’s onsite food trucks, while bartenders serve up specialty drinks for the New Year.

When the clock strikes midnight, a complimentary champagne toast will commence, and the outdoor destination is just steps from the Caloosahatchee River for views of the annual downtown Fort Myers fireworks display.

This New Year’s Eve party is sponsored by Gaea Landscaping.

Bay Street Yard is located at 2136 Bay St. in downtown Fort Myers. For more information, visit BayStreetYard.com/Specials-Events.
