Sugar Land City Hall on New Year’s Eve will be the location for one of the first major performances in the United States of 3D Video Mapping.  Unlike 3D movies, no special glasses will be required to watch animated images at City Hall. 

According to city representatives, the show will include flowing waterfalls, giant eyeballs suddenly appearing to break through solid columns, and City Hall appearing to implode and then restore itself.

The show is set to begin shortly before midnight. The 3D showcase will include a special New Year’s Eve midnight countdown that culminates with a giant 3D sugar cube that will appear to drop from the City Hall clock tower.  The 3D sugar cube drop will be followed by a fireworks display from the roof of City Hall.

The special New Year’s Eve event is part of the city’s yearlong 50th Anniversary celebration. Sugar Land officially incorporated on Dec.29, 1959.

Sugar Land residents are welcome to attend the three New Year’s celebrations, which include a children’s celebration from 5-7:30 p.m., a 50th Anniversary Ceremony from 7:30-8 p.m. and an adult’s celebration from 9 p.m.-1 a.m. The adults’ celebration will include alcohol service from 9 p.m. to midnight.

The free event is open to the public, and parking will be available at the Texas and Lone Star Garages.  A free shuttle service will be available from 4:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. between Mercer Stadium and Sugar Land Town Square.
