New Year traditions and celebrations
in Canada vary regionally. New
Year's Eve (also called New Year's
Eve Day or Veille du Jour de l'An in
French) is generally a social
holiday. In many cities there are
large celebrations which may feature
concerts, late-night partying,
sporting events, and fireworks, with
free public transit service during
peak party times in most major
cities. In some areas, such as in
rural Quebec, people ice fish and
drink alcoholic beverages with their
friends until the early hours of
January 1.
From 1956 to 1976, Guy Lombardo and
his Royal Canadians serenaded Canada
on the CBC, via a feed from CBS,
from the ballroom of the
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel on Park Avenue
in New York City. After Lombardo's
death in 1977, the Royal Canadians
continued on CBC and CBS until 1978.
The song Auld Lang Syne is still a
popular song to sing at midnight on
New Year's Eve, with the Lombardo
version being the standard.
Between 1992 and 2008 the annual
"Year of the Farce" episode of Air
Farce TV series, a television series
featuring sketch comedy troupe Royal
Canadian Air Farce was broadcast on
New Year's Eve. The shows, which
aired on CBC Television, featured
sketches celebrating and lampooning
major events and news stories of the
year. It debuted as a one-off
special in 1992, but was so popular
that the Year of the Farce episodes
continued as a regular feature of
this TV series, until the series
finale on New Year's Eve 2008.
Members of the original cast
returned for reunion specials in
2009 and 2010.
