First Nights!

In Boston, St. Louis, Boulder City, and many more cities, "First Night" events celebrate family-friendly New Year's Eve, with parades, fireworks, and, most of all, performances-- by musicians, dancers, acrobats, you name it. First Nights are low-cost, too: guests buy and wear a First Night button, which gives admission to all the fun.

Be sure to enjoy this affordable family fun, if you're visiting a "First Night" city during the holidays; or make it part of a "staycation" if you're staying close to home this year.
