The lights on Temple Square were one attraction that attracted crowds to the EVE celebration on Dec. 31.
The EVE celebration on Temple Square drew crowds as thousands gathered for performances in the Tabernacle and Joseph Smith Memorial Building on Dec. 31. People poured in from the cold, bundled in coats yet still wearing their 'Happy New Year' headbands, to attend music and dance events throughout the evening.
