For many families with children, celebrating New Year’s Eve can prove challenging, especially when trying to shield young eyes from traditional New Year’s revelry.
Since 1976, Boston has been hosting First Night, a New Year’s celebration committed to emphasizing community spirit.
In recent years, communities big and small across the country have begun hosting their own First Night Celebrations. Many of these events feature cultural events, service or philanthropy incentives, or special activities just for kids.
Each year, these events grow seem to grow. First Night Alexandria’s website has great information about cities across the U.S. Or do a web search for a First Night event in your hometown.
