Go to our  ARTS Missoula Website! for a complete SCHEDULE of events and all things First Night Missoula 2018.


FIRST NIGHT Online Campaign:
ARTS Missoula has started an online campaign! First Night  Missoula is a community wide celebration of the arts. Now in its 24th year, the festival spans roughly 30 venues across Missoula happening from noon to midnight on New Year's Eve. We would love for the opportunity to keep this tradition alive.

At Arts Missoula we have always focused on paying our First Night artists, for without them there would be no celebration. In addition, there are the costs of technical assistance, venue rental, insurance, marketing, and providing food and beverage for over 200 volunteers. Any amount is most welcome, and will help make First Night Missoula a success for the 24th consecutive year. All donations are tax-deductible.

Every dollar counts at ARTS Missoula, serving our community at First Night Missoula and beyond. Thank you for your generosity!
