General Information about First Night

Make the most of your First Night Tri-Cities experience by planning in advance. Seating in each venue is limited, so it's wise to chose an alternate performance you would like to attend for each time slot. A 15-minute break is built in to our schedule between each performance to allow for stage changes and attendees to enter and exit the venue for each performance.

First Night Tri-Cities will be held regardless of the weather. Remember nearly all the performances are indoors for your comfort. Button purchases will not be refunded on account of inclement weather.

Food is available at the event for your dining pleasure, including hot beverages, kettle corn, hotdogs and much more! All of the vendors are from the local Tri-Cities area and we encourage you to patronize them on New Year's Eve.

Please remember that all of our venue spaces are donated to us by Columbia Basin College. Please be respectful of them. Smoking is prohibited in all indoor venues and is prohibited within 50 feet of all entrances. Additionally, there are several venues that do not allow food or beverages so please pay attention to posted signage.

First Night Tri-Cities volunteers and event staff are clearly identified, so please ask if you have any questions.

Finally, please remember that all sales of buttons are final. There are no exchanges or refunds given for any reason.
