Prairie du Chien, WI

You’ll have to get in line for a good luck kiss from a 20-plus-pound fish in Prairie du Chien, where revelers await Lucky, the frozen carp. Donning a crown, the spray-painted fish is lowered 110 feet from the air into a wooden cradle at the stroke of midnight. St. Feriole Island; (608) 326-8602; prairieduchien.org. —Alix Strauss
