“Skyline at Waterplace is once again ready to bring the “Time Square of Providence” New Years Event back to our City. This year we have a new presenting sponsor and even more surprises coming,” said Michael Mota, CEO of Skyline. “We want to see the City of Providence filled with people excited to bring in the new year!”
Indoors, Skyline hosted a ticketed black tie gala event that included valet, passed hors d’eourves, full dinner, desserts, open bar, champagne toast at midnight and additional entertainment featuring multiple DJs and special performances by Aeromyth, the Aerosmith Tribute Band.
“We are excited to be the presenting sponsor for New Years Eve One Providence. We attended the event last year and were blown away by the production. As a company, it is very important to “give back” and we are doing that by sponsoring an event that makes it FREE to the public,” Ed Medeiros, CEO of East Commerce Solutions. “My family and I will be in attendance again this year and we look forward to an even bigger production.”
Tickets for a tented rooftop celebration that will include light fare, entertainment and a champagne toast at midnight were also sold.
All outdoor activities were free and open to the public and did not require an RSVP. Special hotel packages were also available.
