First Night Boston was a series of events throughout the city to celebrate the New Year. A parade that marched from Copley Square to Boston Common, free concerts, ice sculptures, and many other activities kept young and old entertained, from one year as it turned into the next. Shown above, Fireworks light up the overcast sky over Boston Common.
Spectators endure the rain to watch the First Night Parade and kick in 2023.
