As the world gets ready to welcome a fresh year, all eyes turn to Times Square in New York City, where the iconic celebration is already buzzing with energy and excitement.
The dazzling New Year’s Eve Ball was officially unveiled by none other than rapper Pitbull, who personally added the finishing touches to the sparkling crystal masterpiece
To ensure everything is perfect for the big night, organizers conducted a stunning test run, lighting up the ball and raising it skyward on its 139-foot pole atop One Times Square.
In a playful preview, multicolored confetti rained down over Times Square this past Sunday—a small taste of the 3,000 pounds that will create a magical midnight moment.
