Bing in the New Year is a free, family-friendly event to celebrate the New Year on Dec. 31, 2024 with the lowering of a 7-foot lighted Bing cherry in downtown Milwaukie. But, it’s not just a party—it’s a celebration of arts, history and culture. The event will include lion dancers, vendors, kids’ activities, live music and performances, culminating with the lowering by crane of the giant Bing cherry at a family-friendly “drop” time of 9 p.m. About 2,000 community members attended the inaugural event last year, and it received substantial media coverage online, in print and on television.

CONNECT TO THE MILWAUKIE COMMUNITY Bing in the New Year is a great way for organizations to connect with the community in a meaningful way. The event brings together neighbors, friends and families for a one-of-a-kind holiday event in the heart of downtown Milwaukie. There is no other large-scale, free, familycentric New Year’s Eve celebration in the Portland metropolitan area. It celebrates a cherished, fun-filled winter holiday, as well as a unique piece of history. The Bing cherry is the most popular cherry in the United States. It was cultivated in Milwaukie in 1875 by Ah Bing, a Chinese immigrant, who worked as an orchard foreman. Bing in the New Year celebrates this accomplishment and honors the legacy Bing holds in Milwaukie’s story.
