First Night Monterey - Celebrating Art and Community!

Thank you for Buying Buttons for FNM 2026

We hope you enjoyed nine hours of nonstop fun with Art, Music, Dance, and more! Showers did little to dampen the spirits of First Night Button-holders! Although a few outdoor performances had to be cancelled for safety reasons, your admission button gave you access to:

• 15+ venues featuring multiple performances
• All indoor stages, so you stayed warm and dry
• Participation in Interactive Art Stations
• Two Countdown-to-Midnight Finale Performances

By purchasing a button, you supported First Night Monterey and helped us bring you the best performances. Ringing in the New Year with creativity and joy!
