New Year's Eve in CoMo!

Need ideas for New Year's Eve?  Why not try First Night, which is held annually downtown.  This family-friendly event is alcohol-free for the kiddos and offers lots of entertainment.  Over 50 performances, and lots of activities and art displays to view.  It's $7 for an admission button, which gets you access to all the events for the evening.  Children under 7 are free.  You can get buttons at Gerbes, the ARC & Streetside Records.

Listen to pop, jazz, or bluegrass, watch a juggling show, go on a carriage ride or make your own noisemaker!  All these activities and more are planned! You can even participate in the 5k, which occurs earlier in the day. 

Doors open at 6 and entertainment starts at 6:30.  There is a children's procession at 9:15 followed by fireworks and at 11:30 the grand procession will lead the crowd to the courthouse where they will have a ball drop followed by more fireworks.
