First Night is great for the family or a date night out!
Join in the fun for new acts and new culinary experiences on December 31, 2016. This will be an exciting year to be part of the fun!
First Night Williamsburg is a family-oriented, New Year’s Eve celebration of the performing arts presented throughout the City and on the campus of the College of William & Mary. But if you don’t have kids or you are planning on a date night – this is not a kid only event – they have a live music line up that will send you rockin’ into the New Year! Keep reading to learn more about how it all works and how it fits young families, families with kids/tweens/teens and those having a date night out!
See as many acts during the day as you like!
Participants of First Night purchase an admission button (adults) or a kids wristband (ages 3-13). This will allow entry into any of the official First Night Williamsburg acts that day and evening, over 30 total!

We have young kids – anything for them to do?
