SALT LAKE CITY-
The new year is still a few weeks away, but plans are in full swing for Salt Lake City's third annual EVE celebration. The theme of this year's celebration is "The End is Just the Beginning," and organizers are promising a bigger, more exciting celebration than in the past.
Huge crowds are expected for the New Year's Eve celebration that will feature both indoor and outdoor events along West Temple between 100 S and the Salt Palace.
There will be a variety of music from metal and punk to hip hop and reggae. "The X Factor" alums The Anser will be among the musical acts. There will also be inflatables for kids, dancing, art exhibits and film screenings.
This year, organizers are unveiling The Temple of Boom, a large industrial music structure.
"It's a 40-foot high industrial structure that resembles a Mayan temple. iIt shoots fire, there's live electronic music. We've brought in headliners from all over the country," said Jeffery Burke, artistic director for EVE 2012.
The celebration will start on Dec. 29 and be topped off by fireworks at midnight on New Year's Day. Tickets are already on sale for the celebration. For more information, visit eveslc.com.
