DANBURY, Conn. -- It was a night to remember, in more ways the one. The 25th anniversary of Danbury's First Night was a combination light show, community gathering, concert, family fun-fest and feel-good volunteer effort, all with the common goal of putting smiles on residents faces and ringing in 2015 with a bang.
Danbury's First Night Celebration welcomes 2015.
