About First Night® Knoxville
First Night® is a family-friendly, alcohol-free New Year’s Eve community celebration of the arts. The celebration began in Boston in 1976 and has grown to an event that attracts hundreds of thousands of celebrants each year. Since then the event has expanded to over 100 cities in 30 states across the country, as well as internationally into Canada and New Zealand.
The Market Square District Association held its inaugural New Year’s Eve celebration in 2007 to great success. In 2008, the event expanded to multiple entertainment venues throughout downtown and became an officially sanctioned First Night® event. Since that time, First Night® Knoxville has grown into the region’s preeminent New Year’s Eve celebration featuring a lineup of musicians, storytellers, circus acts, dance groups and comedy. The event culminates in the traditional countdown to midnight, complete with a ball drop and fireworks.
