First Night Sandusky

One final thank you to our amazing amazing sponsors!

First Night Sandusky would not be possible without their incredible support. Their generosity, partnership, and belief in this event help make it a safe, fun, and memorable way for our community to ring in the New Year. 🎆

From then family-friendly activities to live entertainment and everything in between, we truly couldn’t have done it without them. Thank you for investing in our community and helping make First Night Sandusky such a special celebration year after year.

Please join us in giving a huge round of applause to all of our sponsors—we are so grateful for each and every one of you! 👏💫

Congratulations to Canaan B. 🎊 on winning the Grand Prize of the First Night Sandusky Countdown Quest!

We were blown away by the number of people that participated and the positive feedback we received.

Thank you to everyone who participated, solved clues, and explored downtown Sandusky with us. Your enthusiasm helped make First Night Sandusky extra fun and memorable!

Thank you as well to Shores & Islands Ohio for providing the AMAZING Grand Prize that showcases some of the best things this community has to offer!

Congrats again, Canaan—we hope you enjoyed the quest! 🥳🎆

⚠️ Important Update – First Night Sandusky ⚠️

Due to the extreme weather conditions and the Level 2 Snow Emergency issued by the Erie County Sheriff’s Office, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the remainder of the Main Stage Entertainment for First Night Sandusky.

The midnight fireworks provided by Hotel Kilbourne and their sponsors is still planned as scheduled provided the wind conditions are safe at midnight.

Thank you for your understanding and support. We are disappointed to end the celebration early, but we look forward to welcoming everyone back for future First Night Sandusky events.

Please stay safe and warm. ❄️

Such a fun promotion!
