Crowds gather to watch the annual ball drop in New York’s Times Square with a performance and fireworks to usher in 2025.
NEW YORK, NY - Thousands of revelers fill Times Square in New York to watch the ball drop on New Year's Eve.
At 6 p.m. ET, the celebration will begin atop One Times Square -–the building at the intersection of 42nd Street, Seventh Avenue and Broadway in the heart of Times Square— where the ball will be lit and raised, accompanied by special pyrotechnic effects.
Performers featured on ABC’s “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” will include Rita Ora, the Jonas Brothers, Megan Moroney, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, TLC and Carrie Underwood, while CNN’s “New Year’s Eve Live” will feature Mickey Guyton and Underwood, and Univision’s “Feliz 2025!” will feature Greeicy, De La Ghetto and Kapo.
At 11:10 p.m. ET, New York City will host a 400th birthday celebration—it was first settled by French Huguenots transported by the Dutch West India Company in 1624—while Guyton will perform her version of John Lennon’s “Imagine”at 11:33 p.m. ET.
At the stroke of midnight, the lights on the New Year’s Eve ball will be turned off, while the numerals of 2025 will be illuminated high above Times Square. Simultaneously 3,000 pounds of confetti—including thousands of wishes from relevelers around the world hoping for peace, love, good health and a better future—will be released from building rooftops throughout Times Square.
Tonight will be the last night the legendary, current New Year’s Eve ball will drop: It will go on display next year in a museum in the newly restored One Times Square.
