Slick Rick, Rob Base, Big Daddy Kane, Dana Dane and Yo-Yo (Yolanda Whitaker) will be serving up the beats on New Year’s Eve in downtown Mobile.
This free event, in its 16th year, has grown to more than 50,000 revelers filling the streets with the festive vibe Mobile is known for. This year’s celebration will have locals and visitors dancing in the streets to hip-hop classic hits that shaped the genre, such as “It Takes Two” , “Ain’t No Half-Steppin’” , “Children’s Story” , “Cinderfella” and “You Can’t Play with My Yo-Yo” . Each legend will perform their own set leading up to one epic countdown at midnight.
The event’s host for the evening, spinning hits and keeping the crowd hyped before, between and after sets, will be DJ Blayze. Festivities on New Year’s Eve during the day include a Kids Zone with family friendly fun in Mardi Gras Park and a MoonPie Drop for the kids.
Moments before midnight, the event will count down into the new year while the street party peaks with the ceremonial dropping of the world’s largest, electronic MoonPie as the clock strikes 2024. The 12-foot-tall MoonPie will descend from the 34-story RSA Trustmark skyrise to welcome in the new year and the beginning of Mobile’s Mardi Gras season.
