Who says you have to wait until midnight to celebrate the New Year? Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky are packed with Noon Year’s Eve parties for families who want to ring in 2026 a little early. From balloon drops and arts & crafts at local museums and libraries, to DJ dance parties, pizza buffets, and trampoline park adventures, there’s something for every kid (and parent!) looking for daytime fun. These events make it easy for little ones to join the countdown, score party favors, and still make bedtime. Which spot would your family pick for the big balloon drop? #Culture #NoonYearsEve #Cincinnati
