One of our FAQ’s is: “Can I bring my dog to First Night?”

Dogs are not allowed at our indoor locations. (If you see a dog, it’s really a person dressed up as a dog, or maybe a child whose face is painted to look like a dog.) You can certainly bring your dog into town, but frankly, I wouldn’t. I know my dog would be completely freaked out by the loud noises – fireworks, those annoying vuvuzelas, marching bands – he’d be a shaking wreck for days. So, as you can see below, Charlie Ashmont is safely tucked away in an undisclosed location, where he’ll enjoy a bully stick tonight while ringing in the New Year.
