Watch Online - Live of New Year Celebration "Ball Drop" in Time Square (New York)



The Times Square Ball  Drop event is happening every New Year’s Eve since December 31, 1907 in Times Square,  New York City (NYC), United States.

Every December 31 at 11:59 PM EST, the ball descends 77 feet (23 m) over the course of a minute, coming to rest at the bottom of the flagpole at Midnight, where a sign lights up with the digits of the new year, as the ball's lights turn off at the same time. Fireworks are then lighted from the building to signal the arrival of the New Year.

Every year up to one million people gather in Times Square to watch the ball drop, and an estimated 1 billion watch the video of the event.

What kind of ball is the Times Square Ball?  It is made up of 32,000 Philips Luxeon Rebel LEDs, with each bulb can last up to 1,250 days. It weighs 12,000 pounds and measures 12 feet in diameter.
