Performances and activities fill the streets in more than thirty indoor sites stretching from Antique Row to the Washington State History Museum and the University of Washington Tacoma. The ninth annual First Night is a celebration of Pierce County and Tacoma s rich and colorful heritage. Visual and performing artists will fill downtown Tacoma with song, dance, juggling, poetry, comedy, magic and more. It s an alcohol-free event for all ages to enjoy, celebrating the creative spirit of an entire county. The creative expression of hundreds of artists transforms the streets, theaters, lobbies, churches and outdoor courtyards into a dramatic backdrop for the annual Mardi-Gras style celebration.
All venues are alcohol-free, making New Year's Eve an event that everyone can enjoy.
