‘Barynya,’ one of the world music acts that will perform at First Night Morris 2013:
Nobody likes hard decisions. But once a year, First Night Morris presents a pleasant predicament:
Which great shows will you see?
Some 80 performances are scheduled tonight, Dec. 31, 2012, at 24 venues across downtown Morristown for First Night Morris 2013, the 21st annual edition of this holiday treat.
Top names from virtually every musical genre will be here (see video of ‘Barynya,’ above), along with first-rate comedians, actors, dancers, kiddie acts and reptiles.
Yes, reptiles. Really big ones.
“First Night’s tremendous variety of performances caters to all preferences at an unbelievably affordable price,” says First Night Chairman Michael Schmidt. “It’s about community, education, and broadening our perspectives while having a really enjoyable time.”
A $25 badge ($90 for a four-pack) gets you into everything. Realistically, that translates to four events, punctuated by two fireworks displays (9:15 pm and midnight) over the historic Morristown Green. Here are details to help you plan a family-friendly, alcohol-free New Year’s Eve that you will never forget:
