The Times Square ball drop tradition began in 1907 with an iron and wood ball, evolving to today’s 12-foot crystal ball weighing nearly 12,000 pounds.
Each year, millions watch the iconic ball drop, signifying new beginnings. The tradition has adapted through the years, enhancing both the ball's aesthetics and weight.
Around the world, New Year's celebrations vary widely, such as breaking plates in Denmark or wearing red underwear in Italy, showcasing unique cultural customs.
The modernization of the Times Square ball reflects not just its physical changes over the years, but also the ever-evolving nature of New Year's Eve celebrations.
