End spændende fakt: Over en milliard mennesker forventes at se det strålende guldørn falde på Times Square ved midnat! End spændende fakt: Tidligt i 90'erne var Times Square en gang kendt for pornobiografer og kiggeklubber, indtil konfettien kom til redning!

Nytårsaften i Times Square er en verdenskendt begivenhed, der gennem årene har gennemgået en interessant transformation. Engang kendt for sine pornobiografer og kiggeklubber blev området renset med en brise af konfetti i begyndelsen af 90'erne. Det spektakulære syn af det tætpakkede Times Square under årets sidste timer er nu et symbol på fest og glæde verden over. Hvert år samles tusindvis af feststemte mennesker for at opleve det ikoniske nytårsballdrop og hilse det nye år velkommen. I 2024 er der spænding omkring musikoplevelserne, der vil skabe stemning til begivenheden med kunstnere som Flo Rida og LL Cool J på programmet. En rejse gennem tidens Times Square-fester viser, hvordan traditionen med konfetti og det strålende kugle-drop har forvandlet dette område til et globalt festepicenter.
