We are also excited to welcome back our Film Festival, featuring 50+ films at two venues, the Morris County Administration Building and the Hyatt Regency Morristown.

“This year we have worked to bring a diverse new cadre of artists to First Night,” explains Don Jay Smith, Film & Artistic Consultant, “And I think we have succeeded. Attendees this year will experience performers and films for a low single-ticket price. Performers such as Eliza Neals who can be heard regularly on Sirius radio and Ty Stephens, who headlined at this year’s Morristown Jazz & Blues Festival. It is an exciting lineup with Grammy Award-winners, international films, and outstanding artists. People are in for a treat!”
