Bring the family (and the fun) to our Noon Year’s Event Run 🎉, now at the new location: Meadow View Elementary School 🏫 in Oconomowoc! We’ve expanded this daytime New Year’s Eve celebration to include a 5K 🏃♂️, 1.5 mile walk, alongside the beloved free kids’ run 👧👦.
Whether you're racing or walking, enjoy all the excitement in the comfort of a large, heated building ❄️🔥—perfect for staying warm before and after the event. It’s the perfect way to ring in the noon year with community, laughter, and a cozy place to celebrate!
This event is brought to you through a partnership with the City of Oconomowoc Parks and Recreation Department, Silver Circle Sports Events, LLC, and the Silver Circle Foundation, 501(c)(3).
🎲 Play games and win make-and-take kits—get crafty at home later!
🏃♂️ Races for ages 1 and up! Shuffle through the snow, snag a finisher woodle, and smile for finish photos (posted after the event). The Kiddos 1K event & activities are free, but registration is required.
🎶 Tunes to rock out to while you enjoy the festivities.
📸 Selfie station with fun props—smile and capture the memory!
🎊 Be ready at noon for the official ball drop, confetti cannons, noisemakers, and a whole lot of fun.
At 12 p.m. sharp, join the countdown as the Noon-Year’s Ball drops from the Western Lakes Fire Department’s ladder truck—a celebration like no other! 🚒✨
