The Shops at Perry Crossing is counting down to the New Year a little early with its annual Noon Year’s Eve Celebration, hosted this year inside Kids Empire Indoor Playground. Families are invited to welcome 2026 with a morning of music, dancing, and fun designed especially for kids.
Guests can look forward to an appearance by DJ Kurt Streblow—NBA All-Star host and Indiana Pacers emcee—who will lead a lively dance party alongside the Kids Empire mascot, Huggy! With a special baby dance competition, festive music, and a mid-day balloon drop, it’s the perfect way for little ones to celebrate the season.
