First Night in Hartford 2017

For 28 years, Hartford has been offering a great day and evening of entertainment and much more to celebrate the coming and arrival of the New Year. In their own words "The day is a multicultural, artistically unique, alcohol-free New Year’s experience with countless professional musicians, artists, performance groups and exhibits that inspire thousands of people of all ages to attend each year.  It’s also an affordable way for everyone to ring in the New Year." 2 p.m. through midnight. 

If you are looking for fireworks, there will be two presentations at Bushnell Park, one at 6 p.m. and one a midnight. 

Events are located all over the city. You can purchase your wristbands online if you have 3-5 days for them to be delivered (they must be ordered in 2016 by December 27) or you can purchase them at one of these locations
