First Night Morris Plans For Full New Year's Return

MORRISTOWN, NJ — Another major Morristown event will make a return. First Night Morris County — Morristown's major New Year's Eve celebration — will go fully live this time around, organizers announced Monday.

The event — perhaps the state's largest New Year's event — will follow guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control, state and town. But as of now, that means no maximum outdoor capacity and no mask mandate.

The event went fully virtual last year because of the pandemic, but it still featured more than 100 artists and over 40 performances. Read more: First Night Morris County Going Virtual This Year Due To COVID

This year's event will also get livestreamed, and the livestream is included in the price of admission. Ticket prices haven't been announced yet, but they'll go on sale in October.

First Night also plans on having its Arts & Entertainment event this fall, with information on it coming soon.

Plans are subject to change depending on COVID-19 restrictions at the time of the event.

First Night Morris County may be the largest New Year's celebration in New Jersey. Attendees get to see up to 80 performances, from music to dance to theater to children's acts, and two fireworks shows.

This year will be the event's 30th anniversary.
