City council offers support to alcohol-free New Year's Eve party

01:53 PM CST on Friday, December 17, 2004

By CASEY STEGALL / KVUE News

The Austin City Council pledged $40,000 Thursday to support an alcohol-free street festival on New Year's Eve.

The party will be part of a national program called First Night that promotes non-alcoholic ways to celebrate the new year. It will be Texas' first First Night party.

"First Night has been a hugely successful program for families with their children," said councilmember Brewster McCraken. "Everyone can be together on New Year's Eve."

The party is slated to run along Congress from Cesar Chavez to 5th Street.

The measure was supported by all but two council members.

The Chamber of Commerce has also pledged its financial support.
