Description
First Night Alexandria is a celebration of the New Year through the performing arts. More than 25 performances take place on 10 indoor stages within Old Town Alexandria. We have performances focused on children and seniors during the daytime and family-friendly concerts all evening! Entertainment includes roots rock, comedy, jazz, R&B, contemporary dance, magic and a Silent Disco. It's fun, affordable and safe and venues are alcohol-free.
Volunteers sign up for one or more shifts to serve at various venues. Duties include assisting at performance venues or activity sites to support attendees and performers. It’s a great way to enjoy live performances and see the fireworks!
Attendees purchase tickets online for the specific shows they want to attend. Venues are walkable and the King Street trolley is free. Additionally, we will have the Dash bus rolling from the Masonic Temple to Market Square starting at 6:30pm.
