You can still catch replays of the "Lone Star NYE: Countdown to 2024" on the NBC Dallas Fort Worth News website. Think of it as your own personal time machine to relive the dazzling display, complete with the synchronized music that would make your air guitar skills jealous.

- City Hall Plaza: Free, fabulous, and perfect for people-watching. This spot offers a clear view of the fireworks and is a great option for those who like a little more elbow room.
