Fullerton has been hosting First Night since 1990, in fact we are the first on the west coast to have embraced this form of festivity. "First Night" began in Boston in 1976 as a cap to the nation's bicentennial. "The goal is to broaden public appreciation of the visual and performing arts while offering a safe, family-oriented alternative to traditional parties which focus on drinking"*.
