MISSOULA — Arts of Missoula hosted its annual event to welcome the new year on Sunday, December 31, 2023.
Missoula on Main and Beyond — formerly known as First Night Missoula — featured 12 hours of events from performances, classes, exhibitions, and so much more. There's plenty of events for all ages.
Most of the events were free, however there were some events that required tickets to be purchased.
There were over 30 events at seven locations.
Heather Adams, the executive director of the event, said it's important to mark a new beginning.
“It's important to, there's a lot of ceremony with the passage of time. Birthdays and New Year's. It's a time where you're looking back, it's a time where you're looking forward and you're marking the day. And we all do that really differently the holidays are not necessarily always a happy time. Sometimes it's a mixed bag. The art in our lives allows us to process,” Adams said.
