Kids' Countdown with Just Vibez
Start your family’s New Year celebrations early as the Just Vibez collective takes you to the Caribbean, around the globe and back to send off the year in style.
Just Vibez brings a good good spirit to the Royal Festival Hall for a family fete, with warmth, sounds, dance competitions and games to party our way into the New Year.
Join us to count down to 12 midday with global sounds from Caribbean dancehall, soca, disco, R&B and Latin grooves. Kids’ Countdown is the place to party hard, end the year in style and still be in bed nice and early!
