MIAMI (CBSMiami) – With the year coming to a close in South Florida, there is never a lack of options for things to do.
Miami is known as one of the biggest party cities in the world and it never fails to impress crowds in search of some groove and entertainment.

Here are just a few things going on in Miami for New Year's Eve.
Bayfront Park – Biscayne Boulevard is a must-attend spot in South Florida. Add a free popular event and the fun multiplies. A New Year's event is at Bayfront Park at 8 p.m.
Locals and tourists alike love to see Miami's Big Orange "Mr. Neon" rise to the top of the InterContinental Hotel as the clock strikes midnight while fireworks go off over Biscayne Bay.
Taking the stage once more is Miami's own Pitbull who will perform his New Year Revolution concert at Bayfront Park.
Similar to last year, a crowd of more than 100,000 are expected to enjoy the annual fireworks, music, and food.
It really doesn't scream Miami more than this.
