Allstate to Ring in the New Year with Sheryl Crow, Usher and Fan Festivities Ahead of the 2020 Allstate® Sugar Bowl®


NORTHBROOK, Ill., Dec. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- As the Georgia Bulldogs prepare to take on the Baylor Bears at the 86th Allstate® Sugar Bowl® on New Year's Day, Allstate will provide college football fans and New Orleans residents with free activities and performances to celebrate the New Year. For the fourth year, Allstate Fan Fest will again serve as the Central Time Zone Countdown location of "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2020," with feature performances by multi-platinum selling artists Sheryl Crow and Usher.

Here are four examples of murals that will comprise Allstate Alley, an interactive and engaging exhibit in Allstate Fan Fest. Fans and visitors can insert themselves into various scenes along the nearly 200-foot-long wall art and take shareable photos that celebrate the convergence of football, New Orleans, the new year and Allstate.

"Each year, we look forward to immersing ourselves in the contagious energy that kicks off at Allstate Fan Fest and continues through the final play of the Allstate Sugar Bowl," said Pam Hollander, vice president of consumer marketing for Allstate. "New Orleans is already an iconic place to celebrate the new year, and Allstate is proud to enhance that experience for fans and community members with a fan parade, free performances and a new, photo-sharable mural."

"Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2020" will broadcast live from Allstate Fan Fest on Tuesday, December 31, 2019 at 7 p.m. CST on ABC. Emmy®, Tony® and Grammy Award-winning actor, singer, director, composer, and playwright Billy Porter will host the Central Time Zone festivities providing viewers with exclusive celebrity and fan interviews leading up to the fleur-de-lis drop in Jackson Square. Sheryl Crow will take the stage at 8:15 p.m., followed by Usher at 10:30 p.m.
