    First Light Provincetown 2024!

    December 31 throughout Provincetown

    First Light Provincetown 2024 is an opportunity to “do” New Year’s Weekend right for Everyone! Events, Celebrations, Fireworks! 2024 will be more for ptownie! The biggest event of the celebration is the fireworks from MacMillan Pier. The best views for the fireworks are on the beach by the pier, if it’s not too cold. You can watch the fireworks from nearby bars, clubs and restaurants that have decks and indoor seating.

    On New Year’s Day 2024, Provincetown will celebrate the 7th Annual Polar Bear Plunge! On that day, hundreds of intrepid plungers will meet in the Johnson Street parking lot, collect tee-shirts, gather inspiration from tracks spun by our New Year’s Day DJ, and learn about the important work of the Center for Coastal Studies! At noon, weather permitting, registrants will run, splash and plunge into the waters of Provincetown Harbor.
