This year the main stage will move from Copley Square to City Hall Plaza as the original location undergoes a reconstruction. The event includes music, artists, and other performances including a laser and pyrotechnic show and multiple sets of fireworks. There are also ice sculptures, dancing, figure skating and other family-friendly fun at multiple central locations in the city.
“City Hall Plaza was designed for events like First Night—opportunities for community to come together and celebrate our shared love for Boston,” said Boston Mayor Michelle Wu in a press release. “I’m so excited to announce that First Night will be coming to Boston City Hall in 2024 and can’t wait to join our residents as we ring in the new year.”
