As has been the case for two decades, there will be two lowerings for the 2018 Great Pinecone Drop on Monday, December 31: one at 10 p.m., to accommodate families with young children and to coincide with East Coast celebrations; and one at midnight. Both events will include music and sing-alongs, an inspirational message from Flagstaff Mayor Coral Evans and a massive countdown led by local DJ Mario as thousands fill the blocked-off streets to ring in the New Year. Fireworks set off by the City of Flagstaff will punctuate the moment as the mountain town ushers in 2019.
