First Night Morris County welcomed the new year Monday night with about 20 venues throughout Morristown for the family-friendly, no-alcohol, town-wide celebration. The night included a Battle of the Bands competition and ended with a fireworks display on the Green.

What a wonderful show, last night. My family has attended everyone of the 21 First Nights - and they keep getting better each year. Last night was no exception! Thank you for putting on such a wonderful extravangaza. It is a great way to celebrate and welcome in a New Year with our Morris County neighbors.

It was a lovely night; wish I hadn't forgotten my camera!

What a waste of time. I wish I didn't bring my whole family. Never again

Planning in advance is necessary to make First Night enjoyable. A schedule of performers, along with a description of their act, is provided in newspaper format in advance. It is also available online. Before arriving, you need to select the show you want to see and have a relatively good idea where the venue is situated. With that little bit of planning, you could take in up to 4 shows - anything from dance, to comedy, to a variety of music, and unusual performances. Something for every age!

Hi Carol - was there any specific reason why you felt it was a waste of time? I think many would be interested to know.

I had a great time at First Night, after dinner at a local restaurant. Luckily, I was with someone who had similar taste in music!
I plead the 2nd!
