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!

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!
