First Night for Families
Per usual, Boston's First Night offers an impressive array of events to ring in the New Year, and if you're attending with kids, check out these program components: The family festival starts at 1pm at the Hynes Convention Center, the costumed grand procession launches from the Hynes at 5:30pm, and fireworks follow the procession on the Boston Common at 7pm sharp (don’t be late; the show is 12 minutes long!). Check out the First Night 2009 page for program details beyond the early kiddie bedtime hour, and to learn where to buy your button.

There's a lower-key version of First Night in Needham, too, I believe.

Do kids need first night buttons? From what age?

Buttons are $18 -- they're no longer available on the First Night website but they have local in-store partners (such as Shaw's, Au Bon Pain, etc.). Kids under 4 are admitted free.
