"Not this year! Join the Maryland Science Center in its New Year's Eve celebration at Noon–Midnight Noon.
"Get here early and make your own party hat and noisemaker, get your face painted, and get ready to party down to the sound of popular kids band Milkshake as they kick off our celebration at 11:30 and help us announce the New Year at Noon.
