First Night Celebration in Boston

Boston recently appeared on Yahoo! Travel’s Top 10 Destinations for New Year’s Eve. Now, we Bostonians have plenty of New Year’s parties to choose from, but Yahoo! Travel actually chose our fair city not for its bars and parties, but for a family-friendly tradition called First Night.
This annual celebration has been going strong for 30 years and attracts more than a million people every year with live music and dance, Mardi Gras-style parades, ice sculptures, fireworks displays, and more. This year’s partners include the Franklin Park Zoo, the New England Aquarium, and the Museum of Fine Arts. First Night buttons are available for a mere $15 online or at any of these retail locations. Go behind the scenes and learn more on the First Night Blog.
