Sponsorship packages are available at a variety of levels for this year’s event on December 31, 2012 at Auditorium Shores and the adjacent areas. Interested sponsors should contact Kevin Shaw, Austin’s New Year Coordinator, at kevin.shaw@austintexas.gov.

Austin’s New Year (ANY) is a family-friendly, alcohol-free, New Year’s Eve event which unites the community to ring in the new year with music, art, food, and fireworks. ANY 2013 will mark the third year of the City-produced New Year’s Eve event. Over 20,000 people came out to Auditorium Shores for last year’s celebration and even more are expected to attend this year. This is the first time the City has made sponsorships available for the event.
