First night St. Petersburg is the largest family-friendly New Year’s Eve celebration of the arts in the state of Florida and each year we bring the city of St. Petersburg arts in unexpected places. With over 30 performers ranging from musicians, to dance, to aerial performances and interactive art our event has something for everyone to enjoy.

Each year a new local artist designs a one of a kind flashing button that serves as the admission button to all of the many activities. First Night is funded solely on the proceeds from button sales as well as sponsorships.

Want to be a part of the tradition? Join us this NYE for our 28th annual celebration as we take our show virtual! We’ll feature all of the favorites and we’ll throw in some extra fun with a public art project for everyone to do from home and much, much more.

Ticket Packages include all the great in-person highlights of First Night for your evening at home or with a small group of friends.

First Night St Petersburg invites you to be a part of this year's celebration in support of continuing the long tradition of First Night St Petersburg for 2022.
