Ring in the New Year in style at Studio Allston Hotel during First Night Boston

As the year winds down, Boston is gearing up for its annual New Year's Eve extravaganza, First Night Boston. This year, the festivities are relocating from Copley Square to the newly revamped City Hall Plaza.

City Hall Plaza: The Hub of First Night Boston

Commencing at noon on December 31, 2023, and continuing until the early hours of January 1, 2024, City Hall Plaza will be alive with live music, creating a vibrant atmosphere. Immerse yourself in the festivities as you explore the Plaza, adorned with the iconic ice sculptures that come to life in the evening, casting a magical spell over the surroundings.

Parade, Fireworks, and More: Unforgettable Moments

This year, the parade returns, starting at City Hall Plaza and making its way to Boston Common. Mayor Michelle Wu will kick off the festivities, leading into the 7 o'clock fireworks at Boston Common—ideal for families with young ones. As midnight approaches, the skies over Boston Harbor will explode with a spectacular fireworks display, marking the beginning of a new year.

First Night's Legacy: 46 Years of Unity

Since its inception in 1976 by local artist Clara Wainwright, First Night Boston has been a unifying force, bringing together the city for 46 years. Initially established to provide family-friendly spaces for local artists, the event has evolved into a citywide celebration, open to all since 2015.
