First Night Hartford Promises to be a Blast!

What is First Night Hartford? It is Hartford's premier New Year's Eve party, a multicultural, artistically unique, alcohol-free New Year's experience with countless professional musicians, artists, performance groups and exhibits. Starting in the middle of the day up to the fireworks display at Midnight, First Night Hartford offers something for every age. This is the 20th year for First Night Hartford, so be sure to come and join the fun.
