Slick Rick, Rob Base, Big Daddy Kane, Dana Dane and Yo-Yo (Yolanda Whitaker) will be serving up the beats on New Year’s Eve in downtown Mobile.
“I am surprised that were able to get all of them. We had a fantastic team working on it. And they read off to me who they had. And it was, yes! So, I haven’t talked to anybody who didn’t think this would be a fantastic lineup. So, we’re looking forward to it,” Honorary Chair Fred Richardson said.
This free event, in its 16th year, has grown to more than 50,000 revelers filling the streets with the festive vibe Mobile is known for. This year’s celebration will have locals and visitors dancing in the streets to hip-hop classic hits that shaped the genre, such as “It Takes Two” , “Ain’t No Half-Steppin’” , “Children’s Story” , “Cinderfella” and “You Can’t Play with My Yo-Yo” . Each legend will perform their own set leading up to one epic countdown at midnight.
Festivities on New Year’s Eve during the day include a Kids Zone with family friendly fun in Mardi Gras Park and a MoonPie Drop for the kids.
Moments before midnight, the event will count down into the new year while the street party peaks with the ceremonial dropping of the world’s largest, electronic MoonPie as the clock strikes 2024. The 12-foot-tall MoonPie will descend from the 34-story RSA Trustmark skyrise to welcome in the new year and the beginning of Mobile’s Mardi Gras season.
