Want to ring in the New Year with your kids or in an alcohol-free environment? Here are a few events planned:

-- For the 18th consecutive year, the city of Fullerton hosts “First Night Fullerton,” an alcohol-free event featuring R&B, surf rock, ’50s music, African dance and karaoke spread across six stages in various downtown locations. Food booths, art exhibits, children’s rides and an ice rink also will be available. City officials expect up to 15,000 people to attend the bash, which features fireworks at midnight. It kicks off at 7 p.m. at the Downtown Fullerton Plaza at 121 E. Wilshire Ave.

-- The city of West Hollywood hosts the 11th annual “Club Freedom” New Year’s Eve party for members of the LGBT community and its supporters. A $10 donation is suggested for the alcohol-, tobacco- and drug-free event, but organizers say no one will be turned away at the door if they don't have the money. It starts at 8 p.m. at The Village at Ed Gould Plaza, 1125 N. McCadden Place.

-- Six Flags Magic Mountain will host its first “Six Flags Rock N’ Ride New Year’s Eve Party,” billed as a safe and sober alternative for youths and families. The party starts at 10:30 a.m. and will include dance competitions, karaoke and a midnight countdown on the Sky Tower. 26101 Magic Mountain Parkway in Valencia.

-- Nathan Olivarez-Giles and Monte Morin
