The community is invited to visit the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus on New Year’s Eve for the annual Sparktacular Celebration. Fireworks will be launched from UAF’s West Ridge Saturday, Dec. 31 at 8 p.m.  The event is made possible by generous donations from a group of local businesses and organizations.

From 7 – 9 p.m. folks can get warm before and after the fireworks at the UA Museum. Cookies and hot chocolate will be served until they run out. For more information contact Janet Thompson at jathompson@alaska.edu.
