Harmony Silvester

Harmony Silvester

The Harmony Silvester Celebration is a family-focused event in Historic Harmony that honors its German heritage by celebrating Silvester (New Year’s Eve) on German time-6:00 PM (midnight in Germany). Kicking off the event, there is a 5K race starting at 3:30 PM, followed by a 1 Mile Fun Run at 4:15. At 6 PM, we will count down in German to a ball-drop, followed by fireworks and singing of Auld Lang Syne. Other activities include vendors, and a Christmas tree and wreath toss. 5K runners receive a long-sleeve race shirt while the inventory lasts. Guaranteed size must be made by December 9th.
