2020-2021 New Years Eve Virtual Events (including NYC ball drop)
2020-2021 New Years Eve
New York City - NYC is changing up the way they do the ball drop. There will be no gathering of people, but the ball will stop drop and there will still be performances.
You can watch the ball drop on the normal channels (ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, etc.). The kickoff begins around 6 PM.
You can also stream the drop from TimesSquareNYC.org for free. Also, on social media on Facebook.com/TimesSquareNYC and Twitter.com/TimesSquareNYC.
If you want your wishes to drop in the confetti for this year or next, fill out the form at the NYE Wishing Well website.

NYE Comedy Mega Show 2021 - Comedians Reggie Watts, Fred Armisen, Natasha Leggero, Moshe Kasher, Andrew Michaan, and Brent Weinbach join forces for a comedy show and midnight countdown (CST).
