FIRST NIGHT 2000, Boston

The first "First Night" was held in Boston in 1976 as an alcohol-free alternative to the usual drunken New Year's Eve bacchanal. Since then, the idea has spread to cities all over the country. The emphasis is on artistic expression and providing a family atmosphere, and entertainment ranges from live music to storytelling to stand-up comedy. For 1999, more than 1,000 artists will be performing in 50 locations throughout Boston. The countdown to the new year is followed by a fireworks display. To find out more about this and other First Night celebrations around the country, visit their website.

For those still smiling from the memories of Reading's 350th Anniversary
Celebration during those 12 special days in June 1994, get ready for a
turn-of-the-century Millennium Party, packed into a 24-hour period from early
morning December 31, 1999 to mid-morning January 1, 2000! "Impossible!"
you declare. "?"
