1. Millennium Carillon in Naperville
   

   Revelers can enjoy both a video and a concert featuring the 160-foot, 72-bell carillon in Moser Tower near the Riverwalk at the base of Rotary Hill. While the Naperville Park District will not be hosting its traditional countdown this year with crowds, it will share a video of the carillon bell, Big Joe, striking midnight, then the bells playing “Auld Lang Syne.”Because the bells can be heard on both sides of the Riverwalk, it seems a perfect option for outdoor social distancing.The Millennium Carillon will ring in 2021 near Naperville’s Riverwalk at the base of Rotary Hill, 443 W. Aurora Ave.
