First Night Alexandria - New Year's Eve Celebration

First Night Alexandria is a family oriented, non-alcohol New Year's Eve celebration held on December 31 at dozens of venues throughout historic Old Town Alexandria. This year's celebration will include 100 live performances at 18 indoor venues, the Annual Fun Hunt, plus children’s entertainment and interactive games, and a spectacular midnight finale with lasers, video, and music at the George Washington Masonic Memorial. Free DASH shuttles and the King Street Trolley will transport participants to activities along King Street. New this year, the finale will warm up with a dance party on the Memorial lawn beginning at 10 p.m. with tunes by DJ Ray Casino. At 11:30 p.m. the show goes multimedia, with video, music, and a swirling spectrum of colorful lasers, culminating in a midnight countdown and ball drop. Six thousand balls will drop on revelers. Party-goers will want to snag a ball so they can enter to win prizes. See Photos of First Night Alexandria
