RING IN THE NEW YEAR IN DOWNTOWN LAUREL

Laurel, MS––December 1, 2021–– Laurel Main Street and BancorpSouth Bank are proud to announce the return of Downtown Countdown after last year’s cancellation in caution of COVID-19.

On New Year’s Eve, starting at 5:00 PM, event-goers can expect food trucks, beer and champagne service, live entertainment, and Countdown Kids, a fun-filled kids area sponsored by Shug’s Cookie Dough & Candy Bar.
