First Night Alexandria Cancelled Due to Covid, Fireworks Still a Go
ALEXANDRIA, VA – There will be no First Night Alexandria celebration on New Year’s Eve. All shows and activities have been cancelled on the recommendation of the Alexandria Health Department and the City of Alexandria. The decision was made to help stop the spread of covid-19.
But there is a silver lining in the clouds: Fireworks are still scheduled for midnight to ring in 2022. The show will last approximately 10 minutes. Visitors who want to watch are asked to spread out as much as possible.
