december 31 , 1907
on december 31, 1907, a ball signifying new year's day was first dropped at times square, and the square has held the main new year's celebration in new york city ever since. on that night, hundreds of thousands of people congregate to watch the waterford crystal ball being lowered on a pole atop the building, marking the start of the new year. it replaced a lavish fireworks display from the top of the building that was held from 1904 to 1906, but stopped by city officials because of the danger of fire. beginning in 1908, and for more than eighty years thereafter, times square sign maker artkraft strauss was responsible for the ball-lowering. during world war ii, a minute of silence, followed by a recording of church bells pealing, replaced the ball drop because of wartime blackout restrictions. today, countdown entertainment and one times square handle the new year's eve event in conjunction with the times square alliance.
