Times Square New Years Eve is a time when throngs of people gather around to see the New Year make its birth. This tradition began in 1904 and has continued to grow in popularity. It is estimated that one million people attend the festivities and over a billion people watch as the ball drops. Times Tower is still there and is a beacon for people to look forward to seeing each time they visit.

There are a few things everyone should know about the New Years Eve celebrations at Times Square. The first is that it is very crowded. It is estimated that over one million people attend the festivities each year. Party venues in London, such as the London Eye, gathers around 150,000 people to watch the spectacular firework show. It is definitely a celebration of immense numbers, but still no where near the amount of people who attend the Times Square bash in person, or the billions of people who watch from home.

The 100th year celebration will be extremely special this year. The Times Square New Years Eve tradition of the ball dropping will be slightly different. A new ball was unveiled and will make its first descent. This beautiful creation is constructed from LED lighting and Waterford crystal. It is twice as bright as its predecessor and will light up the square as never before.
