That was the theme the rang in the new year in Niagara Falls, being chanted in between musical acts and echoed by nearly all who took the stage.

It was appropriate, as a packed crowd braved the bitter cold for the annual concert and New Year’s Eve celebrations.

Performers this year were Jess Moskaluke, James Barker Band, Simple Plan and Marianas Trench.
