The event is organized and arranged by Soundwave Entertainment and Royal Flush Entertainment and is sure to be lots of fun.

Here are some the details from the flyer:

Remember that the Sheepshead Bay Piers are part of the NYC Parks Department and visitors are asked to conduct themselves in the same way they would in their favorite park. In order to preserve the beauty of Sheepshead Bay and to avoid noted party cruise problems, we would like to request all partygoers to dispose of litter responsibly, carpool or take public transportation, and please don't drink and drive.

Thank you and we wish everyone a safe and healthy new year!
