Temecula’s family-friendly New Year’s tradition returns Thursday, December 31, 2026, at the Civic Center Quad. The City of Temecula lists the window as 5:30–9:30 p.m., with an East Coast countdown and drone show featuring an animated grape drop around 9:00 p.m.
Expect live music, food, and activities. Admission is free. (The Old Town association listing notes a similar 6:00–10:00 p.m. window — use the city’s Holiday Fun page as the primary schedule and reconfirm closer to the date.)
