What We Are Doing for Your Safety
In the two weeks before December 31, if you experience any symptoms of COVID-19, come into contact with anyone known to be COVID-19 positive, or have been asked to quarantine by the state, your employer, or your school, you are instructed not to attend. If any of these apply to you and you have already purchased a button, please email admin@firstnightnorthampton.org.
REFUNDS AND CANCELLATIONS:
All button holders will be notified if First Night Northampton is canceled due to COVID-19.
COVID-19 refunds by request only, email admin@firstnightnorthampton.org.
If you are unvaccinated, feeling unwell, experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, or have been in contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, please do not attend. Contact admin@firstnightnorthampton.org.
These measures aim to ensure the safety of everyone – our patrons, artists, staff, and community. This policy will remain in effect until further notice. For information on the current requirements of the city of Northampton, please visit https://www.northamptonma.gov/2104/Covid-19-Information.
