About The Event

 

As the premier year-end blowout in central Arkansas, the New Year’s Eve Ball Drop is back to close out 2025 in style! In partnership with ACDI + The City of Benton, we can’t wait to bring you the most exciting night of the year with family-friendly games, food, and entertainment. FREE for all to attend, the event will feature live music from Copper Flats, along with a large kids zone, a variety of food trucks with items for purchase, event-long entertainment, fireworks, and so much more for everyone to enjoy. Most importantly, the New Year’s Eve Ball Drop provides an opportunity to support Bright Futures Benton, an organization committed to providing the resources and relationships to ensure every child has a future with hope, love, and potential. We will be collecting monetary donations throughout the event and a percentage of all food and drink sales will go directly to supporting Bright Futures and its mission. Downtown Benton is the place to be on New Year’s Eve. We can’t wait to see you there!
