by

ACDI dropped a big party on downtown Benton last New Year’s Eve, and they are poised to do the same to ring in 2026.🕺🪩 In partnership with the City of Benton, they plan on bringing the party again, with family-friendly games, food, and live entertainment.

Read more about the celebration below.




The annual New Year’s Eve Ball Drop is back, with all kinds of fun and live music, including several acts. The entertainment is headlined by up-and-coming country artist Copper Flats.

This free event begins at 7:30 p.m. on December 31st, 2025, and will feature fireworks, along with a large kids area, including a rock climbing wall, bouncy houses, ax throwing game, and obstacle course. ACDI is welcoming several food trucks and a beer and wine truck with items available for purchase throughout the evening.

ACDI, a world-class services and solutions provider, is proud to partner with the City of Benton for its 4th annual New Year’s Eve Ball Drop at its headquarters, located at 403 North Main Street in Benton.

A percentage of all proceeds will directly support Bright Futures Benton, a community initiative within the Benton School District that streamlines school, community, human service, and business resources to quickly meet basic needs and create new opportunities for students so they can succeed in school and beyond.

There will be no shortage of entertainment throughout the evening. Bailey Rhea will provide music beginning at 7:35 p.m., followed by Zack McKenzie at 8:50 p.m.

Headlining the event at 10 p.m. will be Copper Flats, a country music trio debuting in 2025. Among the three band members, they have shared the stage supporting some of the biggest names in country music, including Kenny Chesney, Parker McCollum, Justin Moore, and Lonestar, among others.

Police officers will be on patrol in and around the event to ensure safety as people come and go from the ACDI campus. No outside food or beverages will be permitted, including coolers.
