Freezing temperatures couldn't put New Bedford's New Year's Eve celebration on ice.

Hundreds of people from all over SouthCoast gathered downtown to ring in the new year.

Among those at Custom House Square was Wayne Levitt and his family. He says along with the attractions, he loves catching up with old faces.

Along with the fire-eaters were musicians, street performers, and children's shows.

The night came to a spectacular finish with fireworks over New Bedford Harbor.
