Times Square New Year's Eve
A New York countdown with a long-standing identity of its own. Times Square can be the centrepiece of the trip, with the rest of the city providing reasons to stay beyond the celebration.
Destination background
The Times Square Ball is a time ball located in New York City's Times Square. Located on the roof of One Times Square, the ball is a prominent part of a New Year's Eve celebration in Times Square commonly referred to as the ball drop, where the ball descends down a specially designed flagpole, beginning at 11:59:00 p.m. ET, and resting at 12:00:00 a.m. to signal the start of the new year.
