Highmark First Night – New Years Eve
Friday, December 21, 2018
Mark your calendars for December 31st; Highmark First Night is quickly approaching!
Culminating with the city’s Countdown to Midnight and raising of the Future of Pittsburgh Ball, the six-hour celebration sprawls downtown’s renowned 14-block Cultural District — inside theaters, galleries, and unique spaces and along city streets on outdoor performance stages. Acclaimed national artists and Pittsburgh’s vibrant artist community ring in the new year for revelers with live music, dance, theater, visual arts, comedy, magic, kids’ activities, and a signature parade along with two Zambelli Fireworks displays at 6:00 p.m. and midnight. Admission Button prices remain among the most affordable in the nation: $10 per person (kids 5 and under FREE).
This year’s celebration is the 25th annual and the 16th year as a production of the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust. For more information, visit the event website here.
