SCRANTON — Organizers of First Night Scranton have announced they will no longer host the annual New Year’s Eve celebration in the Electric City.
Committee members say fewer volunteers and declining attendance led to the decision to end the event.
The committee said it tried to pass First Night along to another non-profit organization, but no one was willing to take it on.
With a 16 year history, First Night Scranton was one of the longest-running First Night celebrations in the world.
