After 28 Years, First Night St. Pete Will Be A 3-Hour Virtual Event This Year
For those of you who love to head downtown St. Pete for New Year’s Eve for the First Night party, things will be different this year.
Instead of the family-friendly New Year’s Eve party held across downtown St. Petersburg, it will be a virtual event this year, the first time in 28 years.
They released this information: “Due to the global pandemic, and in order to ensure a safe transition into 2021, First Night will be providing family-friendly fun to the people of St Petersburg and beyond in the comforts of their own home,”
Normally, the event would include art, concerts, kids climbing the trees and a fireworks show.
The event will still be selling First Night buttons, which is what you normally would need to get into a concert or for a kid to jump into a bouncy house. The button sales support the charitable organization, and that is something they want to continue to do.
Button packages are $25, $35 and $100 at FirstNightStPete.com and will be on sale on Nov. 1.
It will still have lots of fun interactive things like a salsa lesson, sing along to songs, a chance for First Night button holders to make a live cameo appearance and an opportunity for everyone to take part in a resolution bonfire.
