ekTEK was a proud member of the First Night Boston story for many, many years. The family-friendly festival city-wide consistently pulled hundreds of thousands of people into the City of Boston every New Year’s Eve fueling the city’s economy, showing a passion for the arts and generating civic pride through colorful celebration. The one-day event completely mobilized the Boston arts scene and hosted many visiting performers and artists providing a stage for the big-name acts such as Patti Smith, Suzanne Vega and many more.
ekTEK was involved in managing 50 sites for the amazing 2000 celebration which brought unprecedented production ambition to the city of Boston. This involved the management of 400 volunteers as the city attracted over one million visitors. On other years ekTEK managed the coordination of multiple stages at the Hynes Convention Center, and worked on the production of the grand procession through the streets of Boston.
