LEWISTON — Celebrate New Year’s L/A and ring in 2018 at the Gendron Franco Center for Heritage and the Performing Arts. The doors and bar open for a fun and elegant evening at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 31.
The evening begins with a delicious buffet dinner, prepared by the Franco Center staff and served from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. The elegant meal will include appetizers, two main course choices and assorted desserts. A cash bar will be open throughout the evening. After that, guests will dance to the music of The Substitutes, a Portland-based band, from 8:30 to 11:30 p.m.
Critics refer to The Substitutes as “five pieces of pure rock ‘n’ roll charisma that people seem to dig.” Just before midnight, all guests will elevate to the magnificent Performance Hall for the Times Square countdown to 2018 on the big screen, with its own “balloon drop,” champagne toast at midnight and the drawing of the giant New Year’s L/A Prize.
Tickets are $50 per guest and includes everything. A raffle will be held and will include entry into the grand prize drawing worth more than $1,000. Overnight parking, if needed, is also available.
Seating for New Year’s L/A is limited, so it is advised to reserve early. For tickets, drop by the box office at 46 Cedar Street, call 207-783-1585, or purchase them online at FrancoCenter.org.
