Historic downtown Florence, Arizona is the sight for a New Year’s Eve Block Party on Saturday, December 31, 2016. Florence Parks and Recreation has an all-star lineup of entertainment and activities to offer on the last night of 2016.

The fun begins at 6:00 p.m. and runs to 2:00 a.m. Fireworks, vendors, children’s inflatables, two beer gardens and excellent musical entertainment will close out 2016 and the Town’s 150th Anniversary.
