LED BY MARTHA MAYO, with guitar at center, early New Year’s Eve revelers sing the Bath version of “Auld Lang Syne” near the Hallet’s Clock on Front Street during a past celebration. The 10th annual Bath early New Year’s Eve celebration and ringing of the Paul Revere Bell in City Hall is scheduled to start at noon Friday, a day earlier than usual.
The city’s 10th annual Paul Revere Bell Ringing, with singing and a short ceremony, will take place at noon Friday at the corner of Front and Centre streets.
The event will take place Friday, instead of New Year’s Eve, due to the holiday falling on a Saturday, according to Jennifer Geiger, director of Main Street Bath.
Participants will gather under Hallet’s Clock shortly before noon for a reading of a New Year’s proclamation and to sing ‘the Bath version of ‘Auld Lang Syne,’” according to a release.
Following a countdown to noon, Bath’s 2011 Citizen of the Year, Kimberly Gates, will ring the historic bell at Bath City Hall.
Revelers are invited in to City Hall auditorium afterwards for refreshments.
