Out with the old and in with the new: how will you celebrate the beginning of 2012? If you’re in downtown Metuchen, prepare for a show of lights. At the stroke of midnight, fireworks will light up the sky above the borough.

Brought to you by the Metuchen Savings Bank, this firework extravaganza is a surefire way to greet the new year in style. Reservations have long been made at some of Metuchen’s delicious dining options, but there still might be space to get a front row seat. If you aren’t looking to dine on Main St or have other plans, consider just heading down in time for the midnight show–the bright lights are sure to delight even casual passersby.

Whether you head downtown or stay in and watch the ball drop–whether you find yourself close to home or far away–whoever you’re with as you celebrate–New Years is a great opportunity to rejoice in the year, reflect on what’s past, and look forward to all that the future has to bring. However you choose to celebrate this New Years, be safe and enjoy the coming year. Here’s to a happy, healthy and prosperous 2012!
