12/26/05 First Night 2006

 

First Night St. Petersburg started in 1993, led by a group of citizens interested in bringing the event to our community.  Today there are over 100 communities throughout the world that welcome the new year with a First Night.  St. Petersburg is one of only three communities in Florida where the various performing & visual arts groups celebrate the community, the new year and art.    

 

The 13th Annual New Year's Eve Celebration of the Arts begins at 2:00 pm on December 31, 2005.  An opening ceremony at Mt. Zion Baptist Church will kick off this year’s event and welcome the expansion of venues into Midtown.  A total of 35 venues will be showcased this year between the Midtown and Downtown locations. This is a family-oriented festivity with music stages, art, drama, entertainment, dance, games, fireworks and more.

 

Adult tickets are $8 in advance; $10 on event day; $5 for ages 6 to 12; and children under 5 are free. And First Night happens rain or shine!
