About First Night Buffalo
First Night Buffalo is excited to celebrate in homes all across WNY with a fully virtual format- presenting an engaging online show featuring performers, DJs, storytellers, and beloved characters.
Alongside the show, party packs are offered for purchase. These kits are designed to make the experience interactive for the whole family. Each pack includes tools or props that let families recreate what is happening onscreen so you can follow along with the performer! The goal is to bring the previous in-person event spirit into homes, so families can watch, play, and celebrate together.
