Milton town councillors are inviting residents to join them for a festive kick-off to 2014 at the annual New Year’s Day Levee.
The traditional celebration will take place Tuesday, Jan. 1 from 1 to 3:30 p.m. at Milton Town Hall.
“Milton council is pleased to continue this tradition,” Councillor Cindy Lunau said in a news release. “We invite Milton residents and their families to join us in celebrating the new year.”
The event will feature musical entertainment and refreshments from La Rose Bakery and Tim Hortons.
Milton residents will also have a chance to discuss Town projects, and learn about council initiatives for the upcoming year.
Levee festivities date back to the mid-17th century when the governor of New France hosted an event to update citizens of the happenings back in Europe.
The tradition continues to be celebrated by many municipalities across Canada.
