New York City will not host traditional fireworks over Central Park or Prospect Park this New Year's Eve due to drought risks, particularly following a recent fire in Prospect Park.
The New York Road Runners organization announced their city partners recommended skipping the fireworks show in favor of exploring alternative festive options for New Year's Eve.
In place of fireworks, Prospect Park will feature a light show using drones to create visual representations of New York landmarks, offering a modern celebration.
Despite a brief rain on Thanksgiving, New York City's reservoirs remain below normal levels, highlighting ongoing concerns about drought conditions this winter.
