Annual Peeps New Year’s festival scheduled for Steelstacks
Celebrate the start of the New Year with this sweet celebration by joining ArtsQuest and Just Born Quality Confections for PEEPSFEST® Monday and Tuesday, from 3 to 6 p.m., at the SteelStacks campus.
This event is both indoors and outdoors, featuring family-friendly activities, fireworks and more following the annual PEEPS® Chick drop on both nights of the event.
As per tradition, the massive PEEPS® Chick, weighing in at 400-pounds and standing at 4 feet, 9 inches tall, will descend for the countdown to the New Year at 5:35 p.m., on both Dec. 30 and Dec. 31, followed by a stunning display of fireworks.
This year’s festival will feature activities both indoors and outdoors, and tickets will be required to ensure a safe and quality experience for all in attendance. Tickets are limited and can be purchased for $5 per person.
In addition, the Ice Rink at SteelStacks, presented by Lehigh Valley Reilly Children’s Hospital, will also be open for its third year in a row.
For $25, which includes the cost of ice skating and PEEPSFEST®, you can skate at the Ice Rink at SteelStacks presented by Lehigh Valley Reilly Children’s Hospital. The skating sessions will take place at 3 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. on Dec. 30 and 31.
The whole family can also enjoy activities like PEEPS® themed games, interactive presentations by Wildlands Conservancy, activities and crafts by The Da Vinci Science Center, Eddy Ray Magic and more. Kids can craft their own keepsakes at the friendship bracelet station and watch a demo where they can learn how to whip up delicious Marshmallow creations with PEEPS® IN THE KITCHEN with PBS39.
For those wanting to add a little fashion flair to their celebration, limited-edition PEEPSFEST® visors will be available with a suggested donation to ArtsQuest to support their tuition-based programming for youth all year long.
To ensure an inclusive experience for everyone, the festival will also offer a sensory-friendly room where guests can relax and unwind in a quieter, comfortable space. Dedicated to providing inclusive family fun for all, the event will also feature live music and entertainment, and the opportunity to be photographed with the PEEPS® Chick Mascot and the PEEPSMOBILE®, games and more.
