First Night Fayetteville Charity Profile

First Night Fayetteville is entering its 11th year as Northwest Arkansas’ New Year’s Eve alcohol-free celebration of family, community, and the arts. We are expanding on these concepts and growing the event to include more of the community, and more of the arts by holding the event at the centrally located Northwest Arkansas Mall.

First Night Fayetteville Volunteer Information

First Night Fayetteville is a fun, family-friendly celebration for the whole community, but an event of this scale takes a community to pull off! By volunteering just 1.5 hours of your time on New Year’s Eve, you’ll be rewarded with undying gratitude and a free First Night Button. It’s a great way to show your support for what First Night Fayetteville is all about – and save yourself $10 while you’re at it!
