Frenchmen Climax remains the best way to start the new year!

What began 31 years ago as a vision of grandeur and celebration has transformed into a reality – a spectacle of light, sound and joy.

Thousands gathered under starlit skies on Monday for an evening that included dancing the night away on an enormous dance floor, fab fare served hot and ready from over 25 stations, and endless Champagne. The experience climaxed, no pun intended, with a spectacular drone light show by Fort Lauderdale-based company LunaLite and the highly anticipated fireworks display.

Climax 2024 was powered by, among others, Mastercard, Appleton Estate, FirstRock, and Pure Country.

Page 2 raises a toast to the new year.
