WMUK's Andy Robins speaks with Kalamazoo New Year's Fest organizer Becca Shemberger One of the event's organizers, Becca Shemberger, says there are three ways to participate New Year's Eve. "The first way is live and in-person. That's going to be outdoors on the North Kalamazoo Mall in front of Burdick's and the old Zazios right there. We're utilizing the steps to kind of make a stage, and we will have live performers there from 7 to 10:45." There will be a deejay from then until midnight. People who attend in-person are asked to wear face masks at all times and follow social distance guidelines.
