  Join us for the Twilight Procession as we enjoy the lights, the magic, and the joy of First Night into the New Year! It's a Mardi-Gras-style walking parade that begins at Portola Plaza and moves down Alvarado Street to Pearl Street, featuring bands, dance groups, large-scale movable sculptures, puppets, and costumed people. Successful elements include height, sound, lights and glow-in-the-dark materials. The Twilight Procession also serves as the finale for Kids' Night Out!

  The Twilight Procession includes Art Cars, there are murals to take selfies by, and the Resolution Scuplture are just a few of the artful projects awaiting First Night’ers.

  If you or your group would like to be part of The Twilight Procession, there is a form to complete on the website, www.FirstNightMonterey.org.
