For the past 8 years, Lakeland residents have gathered at the Maddox Farm to celebrate the New Year at a family-friendly music and arts festival—and this year is no different. The Hometeam New Year’s Rally's lineup features a wide variety of jam bands and rockabilly acts like Cope, The Applebutter Express, Honey Hounds, The Difference, Ajeva, The Melody Trucks Band and many, many more.

You’ll leave the Hometeam New Year Rally feeling a little grimy, but also like you just made hundreds of new friends and family. Camping grounds for the festival are included in the price of a weekend pass. 

Dec. 27-29. 2 p.m.- 7 p.m. $150. Maddox Farm, 2505 W. Bella Vista St., Lakeland. Hometeamnewyears.com
