Temecula's New Year's Eve Grape Drop Returns to the Civic Center December 31, Free

Sunday, November 1, 2026 · Events · GSM News

The city of Temecula in Riverside County, California, rings in the new year at the Civic Center (41000 Main St) on December 31, with the signature Grape Drop returning for the city's New Year's Eve celebration. Admission is free.

For Temecula, a grape does what the apple does for New York: the wine-country city has dropped an oversized cluster of grapes since 2009 in place of Times Square's ball, a nod to Southern California wine country that lets residents count down at home downtown. The city-run celebration closes out Temecula's holiday season.

The event is free with no reservation required; road closures and traffic control will be in effect around the Civic Center, and guests should arrive early and check the city's parking and egress notices.

Details are in the events calendar at temeculaca.gov.
