With events and entertainment both indoors and outdoors, The Little City's celebration is unique because it is free and open-to-the-public. The City of Falls Church government, businesses, organizations, churches, civic groups and many, many committed volunteers come together to throw what The Washington Post Express called "the coolest New Year's Eve event" for families in the Metro area. Big Night in the Little City Watch Night is unique not only for featuring our amazing local talent, but also because of the enormous volunteer network that makes it possible.
