You don’t have to go to a bar for New Years Eve! I now present the biggest list of arty, creative New Years Eve events in New England. And by far the biggest list of fireworks! I know it’s the biggest because I Googled every single town in the state, so much that Google briefly shut me out for too much searching. So here are some great ideas. Let’s start with the big one in Boston, First Night. You buy one ticket and get admission to dozens of dance, music, & participatory events, all within walking distance of each other downtown. It’s really fantastic and you must give it a shot. It’s the largest New Years celebration in the country. The trick is to stand in the back and don’t be afraid to leave & go next door midway through a performance. Starts in the early afternoon and goes through midnight.

This is the last big week for nighttime Xmas light attractions, and pretty much the last week for interesting arty events until March, so go make something of it. I hope you are having an awesome week. Now get out there and do something fun!
