Do you Remember?

During this year's First Night, watch for our special "Do You Remember" displays around town. We are looking for additional memorabilia and photos to use, especially:
  • from the early years of First Night
  • of the special costume display from 2004-2005 (First Night 2005)
  • of families having a great time at First Night in years past
  • and a copy of the town photo from 2008-2009 (First Night 2009)

If you can help, please let us know at [email protected].  Thank you in advance!


Also be sure to take a look at the new History pages on our website to see old Town Photos, programs from the past First Night Chatham Celebrations and lots of photos of performers and events through the years.  
Mural Update
First Night Chatham is currently working on updating the mural which hangs in the Chatham Community Center.  Look for the updated mural on First Night and see the history of the mural project on our website
Thank You!
It "takes a village" to sustain the success First Night has enjoyed in Chatham for 25 years, when many others around the country have gone silent. We are very pleased that this success is founded on the support First Night receives from so many businesses in Chatham, churches and civic organizations, the Town and schools in use of facilities and the overall community. Please support and thank our supporters! If you would like to be a business or individual sponsor of First Night Chatham, please visit our website to donate.  
Can You Help?
First Night Chatham depends on the participation of volunteers - they make the celebration possible. Last year, more than 250 volunteers helped the day run smoothly at 20 venues that hosted over 90 performances and activities. 

We welcome new volunteers, and look forward to seeing many returning volunteers every year. Click here for more information about volunteering or you can email our volunteer coordinator directly at [email protected]
