The year 2023 will end on a special date that only happens once in a century, 12/31/23. It's not a palindrome date, but it's considered lucky since it is rare. Numerologists believe the sequence 123123 constitutes 'angel numbers.' Various events are planned to celebrate the new year, such as the inaugural New Year’s Eve Celebration hosted by the city of Cape Coral. The event will feature live music, entertainment, countdown pyrotechnics, and more, with a street festival that includes shopping, food vendors, games, and activities for children while waiting for the countdown to 2024. The event will have two separate ball drops at 8 p.m. and midnight with synchronized pyrotechnics. The Nauti Mermaid will host a NYE Dinner & Firework Celebration on Dec. 31.
