First Night Tri-Cities 2011

Countdown to First Night
Tri-Cities 2011:

Welcome to the website of the Tri-Cities biggest party -- First Night Tri-Cities!
Yes, it's a new year,

but the volunteers putting on this family-oriented New Year's Eve event are the same, the philosophy of the event is the same and this year's entertainment lineup may very well be the best ever assembled since this event began serving our region's families in 1996!
   Using the Columbia Basin College campus as a backdrop, First Night Tri-Cities invites you to bring your family and friends to attend a drug and alcohol-free night celebrating the arts and the passage of one year to the next. Nowhere else in the Tri-Cities will you be able to celebrate New Year's Eve with your entire family -- no matter what their age -- enjoying such a wide variety of visual and performing arts that is affordable and accessible to all.
   A low-cost general admission button for family members ages five and over is all it takes to get into venues to savor live music of all kinds, get a kick out of a hypnotist, have your children participate in Kid's Zone activities, lively venues for teenagers to enjoy, exciting main stage acts and then gather for the excitement of a year ending and year beginning spectacular fireworks display.
   First Night Tri-Cities provides a safe, friendly environment for families to spend New Year's Eve together. It allows our great community the opportunity to come together experiencing a sense of community and a sense of place, renewing old friendships and meeting many new friends and their families. First Night Tri-Cities is that very special event that shows why the Tri-Cities is a great place to live, work and play.
