Residents and visitors will have the chance to celebrate New Year’s Eve at the Pikes Peak AdAmAn VIP Fireworks Event on Wednesday, Dec. 31. The event, which is now sold out, offers exclusive nighttime access to the North Slope Recreation Area and Crystal Reservoir for a view of the traditional AdAmAn New Year’s Eve fireworks.
Starting at 10:30 p.m., Pikes Peak Ranger staff will guide guests to the Crystal Reservoir Visitor Center parking area at mile 6 on the Pikes Peak Highway. Attendees can then enjoy outdoor viewing areas to watch the fireworks, depending on weather conditions.
The event also features fireside chats with AdAmAn members Nick Baki and Dave Hunting. Warm drinks and food will be available for purchase, along with souvenirs.
Tickets and timed-entry permits were required in advance for this family-friendly celebration. Seventy timed-entry permits were offered at $2 each. Ticket prices were set at $20 for adults ages 16 and older, $10 for children ages 6 to 15, free admission for children under five, and a carload rate of $70 for up to five passengers.
No tickets or permits are being sold at the entrance.
To protect Crystal Reservoir and local wildlife, all guests must follow event rules. Alcohol, drugs, fireworks, drones, off-leash pets are not allowed, and viewing is limited to designated areas only.
