Legoland Rocks In The New Year

Our favorite early New Year’s celebration went down last night at Carlsbadistan’s Legoland park. Reveler’s dropped a brick on 2009 at 6 PM.

The festivities were topped off by a dazzling fireworks display that illuminated the 128-acre family theme park and was the first to light up San Diego’s night sky. . . Mini revelers rocked out in party hats, glow bracelets and special fireworks viewing glasses during four fun family concerts featuring pop-rocker Justin Roberts and the Not Ready for Naptime Players, The Jumpitz, one the hottest children’s entertainment groups in the nation; Nine-year-old hip-hop artist Lil Niqo; and Pink Army, an all girl band based in San Diego.
