Out with the old, in with the new with Tacoma’s First Night

Roar! Meet the New Year like a tiger, with dance, sculpture, music, drums, theater, nonsense, fire, and a tiger named Komandu at Tacoma’s First Night. First Night – Tacoma’s New Year’s Eve celebration – is an opportunity for friends and families to say farewell to the old year and hello to the new.
