Times Square NYC New Years Eve Midnight Ball Drop - New Years Day Celebration New York City USA 2020 - 2021

The Times Square Ball is a time ball located atop the One Times Square building in New York City, primarily utilized as part of New Year's Eve celebrations held in Times Square. Yearly at 11:59 p.m. EST on December 31, the ball is lowered 77 feet (23 m) down a specially designed flagpole, resting on the midnight to signal the start of the new year. The first ball drop in Times Square took place on December 31, 1907, and has been held annually since (except in 1942 and 1943 in observance of wartime blackouts). The ball's design has also been updated over the years to reflect new advances in technologies—its original design utilized 100 incandescent light bulbs, iron, and wood in its construction, while its current incarnation features a computerized LED lighting system and an outer surface consisting of triangle-shaped crystal panels. As of 2009, the ball is also displayed atop One Times Square year-round and is removed only for general maintenance.

The Ball is covered with a total of 2,688 Waterford Crystal triangles

The Times Square ball drop is one of the best-known New Year's celebrations internationally, attended by at least one million spectators yearly, with an estimated global audience of at least 1 billion. The prevalence of the Times Square ball drop has also inspired other similar ball drops held locally in other cities and towns around the world.

The first ball drop in Times Square took place on December 31, 1907, and has been held annually since (except in 1942 and 1943 in observance of wartime blackouts). The ball's design has also been updated over the years to reflect new advances in technologies—its original design utilized 100 incandescent light bulbs, iron, and wood in its construction, while its current incarnation features a computerized LED lighting system and an outer surface consisting of triangle-shaped crystal panels. As of 2009, the ball is also displayed atop One Times Square year-round and is removed only for general maintenance.

The Ball is covered with a total of 2,688 Waterford Crystal triangles

LOVE-IN! at Times Square SHOW NO SHAME!

Friday October 15 at 6:00pm

TIMES SQUARE

(stretching from NW-corner of W. 46th & 7th Ave, across the public square, past the Red Stairscase, to SE-corner of W. 47th St & Bway)

...

RAIN OR SHINE!

Open to the Public!

INVITE ALL YOUR FRIENDS so we can stretch across the entire public square!

ATTENTION MUST BE PAID TO THE POWER OF OUR LOVE!

We are NOT threatening

We are NOT scary

We are NOT shameful

And HATE speech is a DIRECT CAUSE of suicide and violence within our community

DETAILS OF ACTION:

- Couples (same-sex or straight) are asked to stand holding hands, hug or kiss in-place

- If you are single (like so many of us!) come join! We will be pairing-up single strangers to hold hands!

- We will line-up the couples in a diagonal line with gaps between each couple

- This will "force" the tourist traffic to walk directly through the line to get to the other side

- Participants will hold this position for approx 15-minutes

- Following the action, participants are encouraged to scrawl messages of love in chalk on the sidewalk/street

WHAT TO BRING:

- Participants are encouraged to bring signs with their own messages of LOVE (trying best to be informative and positive)

- Signs MUST be paper or cardboard! NO plastic or wooden poles/handles

- Please bring with you a printed image (PROVIDED BELOW) of an LGBT victim of hate violence or bullycide. Or bring a message, sign, loving memorial of your own declaring "I STAND HERE FOR..."

Times Square New Years Eve Ball Drop in New York City 2015 - 2016

The Times Square Ball is a time ball located atop the One Times Square building in New York City, primarily utilized as part of New Year's Eve celebrations held in Times Square. Yearly at 11:59 p.m. EST on December 31, the ball is lowered 77 feet (23 m) down a specially designed flagpole, resting on the midnight to signal the start of the new year. The first ball drop in Times Square took place on December 31, 1907, and has been held annually since (except in 1942 and 1943 in observance of wartime blackouts). The ball's design has also been updated over the years to reflect new advances in technologies—its original design utilized 100 incandescent light bulbs, iron, and wood in its construction, while its current incarnation features a computerized LED lighting system and an outer surface consisting of triangle-shaped crystal panels. As of 2009, the ball is also displayed atop One Times Square year-round and is removed only for general maintenance.

The Times Square ball drop is one of the best-known New Year's celebrations internationally, attended by at least one million spectators yearly, with an estimated global audience of at least 1 billion. The prevalence of the Times Square ball drop has also inspired other similar "drops" held locally in other cities and towns around the world.

Times Square, New York City, New Years Eve Ball Drop, 2013 - 2014

The Times Square Ball is a time ball located atop the One Times Square building in New York City, primarily utilized as part of New Year's Eve celebrations held in Times Square. Yearly at 11:59 p.m. EST on December 31, the ball is lowered 77 feet (23 m) down a specially designed flagpole, resting on the midnight to signal the start of the new year. The first ball drop in Times Square took place on December 31, 1907, and has been held annually since (except in 1942 and 1943 in observance of wartime blackouts). The ball's design has also been updated over the years to reflect new advances in technologies—its original design utilized 100 incandescent light bulbs, iron, and wood in its construction, while its current incarnation features a computerized LED lighting system and an outer surface consisting of triangle-shaped crystal panels. As of 2009, the ball is also displayed atop One Times Square year-round and is removed only for general maintenance.

The Times Square ball drop is one of the best-known New Year's celebrations internationally, attended by at least one million spectators yearly, with an estimated global audience of at least 1 billion. The prevalence of the Times Square ball drop has also inspired other similar "drops" held locally in other cities and towns around the world.
