CLARKSVILLE, TN – Montgomery County will host its third New Year’s Eve Party at the Downtown Commons, at 215 Legion Street, on Dec. 31, beginning at 9 p.m. Guests will enjoy live music, food trucks, drinks, and a balloon drop to celebrate the start of 2026!
“We’re thrilled to celebrate the third year of this event with the community,” said Montgomery County Mayor Wesley Golden. “The entire Downtown Commons turf will be covered with heated tents, and we’re bringing back a live 10-piece band, local food trucks, drone shows, and a photo booth. After welcoming over 3,000 guests last year, we can’t wait to ring in the New Year with everyone again.”
Austin Peay State University proudly serves as the presenting sponsor of the evening, ensuring a night to remember! Austin Peay will bring the party to life with two drone shows designed by Austin Peay Animation students, then ending the event with a balloon drop in Austin Peay’s signature colors: red, white, and black.
