Johnstown Virtual New Years 1:02 am Celebrating New Year’s Eve looks very different this year because of the pandemic. But an event in Johnstown is still celebrating the end of 2020 in a safe manner. The annual Celebration Johnstown event brings people downtown to celebrate the start of the new year with live music and fireworks. This year because of COVID-19, the event will be held virtually on multiple platforms. “Although pausing for the year is not horrible, is there a way we could re-imagine, and could we do this virtually? And so, it all just fell together beautifully,” said Celebration Johnstown co-chair, Lauren Lazzari.
