It was created by a group of civic-minded artists in Boston as a meaningful alternative to traditional New Year's Eve revelry. Offered to the city as a finale to its Bicentennial events in 1976\, First Night Boston also began a new tradition\, bringing neighboring communities together through a joint celebration. Portsmouth became a First Night community in 1986 - we are one of two remaining towns in New Hampshire that celebrates First Night with music\, dance\, fireworks and ice sculpture. By purchasing the First Night Button\, you support Pro Portsmouth's efforts to keep this tradition alive and thriving on the Seacoast!
