Families, friends and neighbors from all over Loudoun and beyond welcome in the New Year with a community celebration of the arts recognizing Loudoun County's 250th Anniversary: 1757-2007.

First Night Leesburg will host over 100 wonderful performances at 20 indoor locations in downtown Leesburg, all within walking distance of one another. Come and enjoy jazz, classical music, puppet shows, bluegrass, folk music, magicians and much more! First Night concludes at midnight with a traditional Grand Illumination gathering on the courthouse green. Everyone will receive a candle, pass the flame to their neighbor and sing in the New Year as the old courthouse bell rings the last twelve chimes to midnight.

First Night Leesburg is a family oriented, alcohol-free celebration with entertainment coordinated by the Bluemont Concert Series. Performances are held in boardrooms, lobbies, courtrooms, church sanctuaries, parish halls and other locations. Continuous shuttle bus service for major sites is available and most sites are handicapped accessible. Old Town Leesburg provides an ideal setting with its historic charm, convenient parking and many fine restaurants.

First Night cannot happen without the support of the community. To make a financial contribution, become a corporate sponsor, or to be a First Night volunteer, please see our FAQs for contact information.
