Next week we will be ringing in the new year — 2026! There are many fun events to attend locally and include the whole family in the celebration.

For one, there is Peepsfest at SteelStacks in Bethlehem. The annual event is scheduled for 3-6 p.m. Dec. 30 and 31.

Tickets are required, and there are a limited number on sale. Visit the website to purchase tickets: steelstacks.org/festivals/peepsfest.

No matter how you decide to ring in the new year, enjoy the celebration and be safe.

Happy New Year to the Stiles community!
