First Night Alexandria is back with a variety of performances and events for all ages. The Countdown to 2025 features a variety of activities, activations, dance parties, live music, and more. The festivities kick off at 2pm and conclude at midnight as thousands welcome in the New Year. 

All-access passes offer entry to all indoor shows. Matinee tickets at a discounted price are available for events 2-6pm only.

Twilight Fireworks: This year’s celebration features a twilight fireworks display at 6pm on Alexandria’s waterfront geared to families who want to enjoy the show with their kids. First Night Alexandria also hosts an abbreviated encore display of the New Year’s fireworks at midnight on the waterfront.

Daytime Block Party: Join us at Market Square from 4-6pm for music, a “Cool Happy New Year” demonstration, and special fun just prior to the new Twilight fireworks display.
