We're charging up the camera, swigging caffeinated soda and getting ready to head downtown for the biggest event of the year: First Night!
Our first year in Tacoma we had an amazing time at First Night 2005. I've been volunteering with the organization since 2007, and it has been so amazing to see our New Year's Eve festival roar back to life.
Construct beautiful illuminated lanterns, mardi gras masks, and dream trees in preparation for the biggest night of the year: First Night!
Grand Procession Lanterns
Come join this hands-on workshop and make your own procession lantern. Made with balloons and paper mache', this workshop is great for families. Kids 5 and up are welcome with an adult. All materials provided
100 or so revelers lined up outside Job Carr Cabin last night to witness the lighting of the Old Town Christmas Tree, drink hot cocoa, visit with Santa, and generally run around and get muddy at Old Town Park.
New Year's Eve is traditionally tough for families, but Tacoma does the holiday right—with an all ages festival and celebration of the arts, right in the heart of downtown.
Garfield Street hosts safe Trick-or-Treating with local businesses and the PLU residence halls. Join us in the store for cookie decorating, hot apple cider, and coloring contests!
