Just stop calling this event First Night, please
Last year's and this year's events bear little resemblance to the original conception of First Night (an alcohol-free showcase for local art and culture). They are a sad shadow of a once great festival. Give it a new name if you have to keep it going.
How about First Blight?
Because that's what it's been for years.
It's not fair , East Boston
It's not fair , East Boston had a front seat view of these fireworks since the 1980s, They should continue to be on the Boston harbor , 4th of July fireworks on the Charles River and New Year's Eve fireworks on Boston Harbor.
If they can't raise the money
If they can't raise the money, just cancel it. We'll do just fine without it.
Fireworks in Copley Square?
Where exactly? Are we talking about firecrackers? or fireworks? Wtf?
Actually they did it last year
Not huge but they shot off some nice ones from the top of the hotel. Smaller works in a tight space.
Boston Common
They have also been doing quite respectable-sized "Family Fireworks" on Boston Common for years.
These are awesome
The family fireworks on the Common have always been my favorite, because you can get so close that they are almost right over your head. No other fireworks I've attended have that perspective. Though I'm not sure you could do that at Copley since it's more closed in with the buildings.
They cordon off a large section of the Common for safety reasons
when shooting off those 7 pm fireworks. I don't see how you can do that at Copley -- the square just isn't big enough.
Drone Fireworks for Copley Square

Move it.
Everyone and everything wants to be on the South Boston Waterfront including helicopter pads. There's enough stuff going on down here.
Like a good neighbor
GE is ther....wait, that's not how it goes
They sold FirstNight.org to some unrelated company
The people running First Night have to be pretty desperate in order to sell off the FirstNight.org domain.
