You’re invited to attend the 40th edition of Northampton’s city-wide New Year’s Eve party: First Night: Northampton’s most beloved signature event!

Since 1985, First Night Northampton has filled the Paradise City with a 12-hour, family-friendly festival of the arts culminating in a traditional ball-raising from the roof of the Hotel Northampton.

Gather with friends, neighbors, and visitors at 23 terrific downtown venues for an astounding array of entertainment presented by hundreds of talented performers. Our efforts are supported by generous local sponsors and dedicated volunteers. One hundred percent of proceeds benefit community arts.

A single bargain-priced button opens the doors to every event at every venue. Buy one early at a local vendor or online – and check out the companion performance schedule!
