Each day provides the opportunity to see something new, so consider spreading your chosen activities over the entire weekend. Don't forget to use the Interactive Planner to create a personalized itinerary that you can download and print.
Most events begin at scheduled times, and venues are cleared between performances.
There is no reserved seating. Late admission is rare and at the discretion of each site's management, so be sure to allow ample time to get from one location to the next. First Night events usually attract full houses, and locations close to Copley Square and Boston Common tend to fill up quickly. Don't be afraid to venture off the beaten path because the performance you see by chance just might be your favorite. For maximum comfort at both indoor and outdoor locations, we suggest wearing layers and suitable shoes for walking and dancing.
