The 30-plus year downtown tradtion begins Dec. 31 at 9 p.m. with live music at the Inner Harbor Ampitheater at Pratt and Light Streets and concludes at Jan. 1, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
The fireworks display, the largest in the region, according to BOPA, will begin at the stroke of midnight. The Inner Harbor, Harbor East, Fells Point and Federal Hill are all prime viewing spots.
