First Night Boston

Boston's First Night Celebrations is one of the biggest and best around. With a first night button you'll find yourself privy to a plethora of activities all around the city during the day and night, both inside and outside. Family events include face painting, a circus, cultural workshops, puppet shows, story time, comedy, free admission to museums, and even an early fireworks display. Those without children will enjoy an even wider array of options including concerts, performances and adult comedy at many local venues. But one of the most stunning displays at the First Night celebration is the ice sculptures. These detailed works of ice art are exquisite and not to be missed. And be sure to start your New Year watching the spectacular display of fireworks over the waterfront at midnight.
