What is First Night Alexandria?

First Night Alexandria is a celebration of the new year through the performing arts. Our goal is to provide an alternative to traditional New Year’s Eve celebrations with an enjoyable evening of entertainment that is family-friendly and affordable. By providing a variety of music genres and interactive events, we are able to introduce attendees to a diverse range of performers and broaden their cultural experiences.

Additionally, through the collaborative support of churches, museums, retail establishments, libraries, private clubs, buildings and offices, recreation centers, city-owned facilities, theaters, and hotels, these locations become venues that showcase incredible local and regional talent.
