First night-
a new way of celebrating New Year's Eve

First Night was founded in Boston in 1976 by civic minded artists as a meaningful alternative to traditional New Year's revelry. First Night was the finale to the city's Bicentennial events and the start of a new tradition. The founders' objectives were to recapture the symbolic significance of the passage from the old year to the new to unite the community through a shared cultural celebration which would deepen and broaden the public's appreciation of the visual performing arts.

First Night International is the umbrella organization, which fosters the concept and assists all interested communities in establishing the celebration. It provides education through an annual conference, technical assistance and consultations. In addition, it offers on-going services to strengthen each existing First Night city.

First Night is a Registered Copyright Event
