About First Night ...

"First Night®" is an international alliance of over 200 New Year's eve celebrations in 4 countries that combines the traditions of marking the passage of time with modern day festivities. "First Night®" cultivates a sense of community, brings together the family, revitalizes the downtown, decreases alcohol consumption on New Year's Eve and stages a public observance of the coming of the New Year. 

Youngstown's "First Night®" will take place along Wick Avenue in the YSU campus area and central business disctrict in downtown. There will be both indoor and outdoor activities and performances. The celebration will begin at 6 PM and will end with a spectacular fireworks display as we ring in the New Year at midnight.
