First Night Missoula // Monday, December 31st, noon to midnight
What is First Night?
First Night Missoula is a community built festival that highlights talented local and regional musicians, performers, and other artists in several venues throughout Missoula. Join us this New Year's Eve to celebrate 25 years of entertaining and engaging audiences of all ages through the arts. We have tons of new exciting performances this year including the UofM Circus Club, a Comedy Showcase, Bluegrass Showcase and more!
Purchase your Admission Buttons:
This year is the 25th Anniversary of First Night Missoula. We have rolled our prices back to $10 per button ($15 on NYE). An admission button gets you into ANY First Night event (unless otherwise specified). Spotlight will not be requiring additional tickets. All you need is your First Night admission button. You can purchase First Night Buttons through our website, HERE! OR at button outlets. Button outlets include: All Missoula Albertson's locations, Fact & Fiction Books, Missoula Fresh Market Broadway & Reserve, Good Food Store Missoula, Missoula Downtown Association, Rockin' Rudy's, Rosauer's, Southgate Mall, Worden's Market, Super 1 Foods, Harvest Foods, Chapter One Bookstore.
Volunteer:
First Night Missoula requires LOTS of volunteer help. We have volunteer check-in shifts, ushering and administrative shifts. We value our volunteers and their time! Each volunteer receives a free First Night Admission button to enjoy performances before and after their shifts. Interested in helping out? Thank you so much in advance. Click here to sign up: VOLUNTEER! or call us at (406)-541-0860.
Support First Night:
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 our volunteers. While many First Night celebrations across the country are shutting their doors, we're looking for your help to keep this community event alive. All donations are tax-deductible. Click HERE! if you are interested in supporting First Night! THANK YOU.
