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.
Snoop Dog’s Virtual New Year’s Eve presented by TBS and the Go Big Show - Beginning at 8 PM, Snoop is joined by Bert Kreischer, Rosario Dawson, Jennifer Nettles, and Cody Rhodes. There will be music with DJ Cassidy and DJ Battlecat. More information can be found on the official Snoop NYE 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). Adult content will be throughout, so this is not suitable for children. The ticket cost is $10-20 and the show begins at 8:30 PM PST/ 11:30 PM EST.
Around the World:
Many international celebrations have been canceled or scaled back considerably (except New Zealand). This article from Fodor’s lists more major cities and their NYE plans. Many bands and musical acts are performing digital concerts, for instance, BTS, so that could be another option.
