Ring in the New Year with First Night Monterey 2021, the virtual edition! This special free program for New Year’s Eve will feature music, art, dance, and poetry from around the country for the whole family on Thursday, December 31, 6pm-12am. Kids' Night Out activities begin at 3pm. Visit our page on YouTube to view all the fun.

Because of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, we cannot bring our community together in the traditional way that brings joy to so many. But we can come together online to share the holiday, make our resolutions for the New Year, and ring in 2021 with the hope, unity, and optimism we are all ready to embrace.

First Night Monterey welcomes your donations to keep this important annual event going for years to come. Make a donation of $40 - $100 and receive buttons, NYE hats, and/or party horns to celebrate the beginning of 2021. Read donation details here.
