Kankakee County, IL – Families looking to celebrate the New Year early will have a chance to do so this Saturday at a special Noon Year’s Eve event hosted by the Limestone Township Library District.
According to the Limestone Township Library District, the event will take place on Saturday, December 27, 2025, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., offering a festive, kid-friendly alternative to traditional late-night celebrations.
The library’s Noon Year’s Eve celebration is designed especially for children and families who want to ring in the New Year without staying up until midnight. The event will feature a variety of games and activities, along with food and drinks, creating a party atmosphere inside the library.
Library staff say the highlight of the event will come right at 12 p.m., when attendees will count down together and celebrate the “New Year” as the clock strikes noon. The concept has become increasingly popular at libraries nationwide, allowing younger children to experience the excitement of a New Year’s countdown in a safe, daytime setting.
The event will be held at the Limestone Township Library District, which serves families across Limestone Township and surrounding areas of Kankakee County, located south of the Chicago metro area.
Officials did not indicate that registration is required, but families are encouraged to arrive on time to take part in the full celebration. Space and supplies may be limited depending on attendance.
Community members looking for a festive holiday activity during the final week of the year are encouraged to stop by and take part in the celebration.
