See ice sculptors, fire breathers at The Battery’s first free NYE bash

There will be ice sculptors, fire breathers, a DJ, pet shows, a circus performer, aerialists, acrobats and fireworks.

And it’s free.

The kid-centric events run from 5:30 to 8 p.m., including music, the trained pet act and a circus performer who says he graduated from the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Clown College.

As has been ongoing during the holiday season, there will be ice skating — $13 for adults and $10 for children 12 and younger.

Children will be able to see an inflatable baseball drop at 8 p.m. so they can feel part of the NYE magic.

But from 9 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., it’s adult time.

There will be champagne kiosks from Korbel and a fireworks display. The music will shift and out will come the aerialists and the ice sculptor.

Charles Esten — who plays Deacon Claybourne on CMT's "Nasvhille" — will perform. The cast went on a music tour this year and came to Atlanta's Chastain Park Amphitheatre on July 26.

All parking decks will be free and open that night.
