First Night Boston

First Night First Day 2017 is a highly anticipated two-day, city-wide celebration that is free and open to the public. The long running festival features family-friendly activities such as a parade down Boylston Street, a spectacular pyrotechnics show, maritime legend inspired ice sculptures, performances from local artists/musicians,, the Boston Public Library’s new “400 Years of Shakespeare” exhibit, and of course, the “Copley Countdown”, a highly anticipated annual countdown to the New Year.

First Night is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, made possible by the generous donations provided by individuals and corporate sponsors.
