Last night, 1 million people filed into Boston, Massachusetts to celebrate the 31st Annual First Night celebration. The people who attended the First Night celebration enjoyed live musical performances, ice sculptures, arts and crafts, theatre productions, comedians, films, and finally, fire works. Admission to the events was $15 through Purchasing a First Night button. The button could get you into any of the offered events on New Years Eve and discounts are also available with the button throughout the month of January. All profits from First Night go to help support the arts in the Boston area. Tonight was a great night for the ice scupltures and the people, as tempatures where around 40 degrees farenheit (4 degrees celsius). At City Hill Plaza, Mayor Thomasn Menino made an appearance and held a countdown to noon for younger people who might not be able to stay up for the festivities that were to happen later in the night. For those who did stay for the actual countdown the trains leaving Boston ran until 1 a.m. to accomodate the large crowd. According to First Night Inc., Boston's First Night mission is "To reveal and celebrate diversity through the First Night celebration and the First Night Neighborhood Network, using art as a catalyst to unify the community through creativity, imagination and participation."
