New Year’s Eve Celebrations Kick Off America’s 250th Birthday

As the nation rings in 2026, New Year’s Eve celebrations will also launch a yearlong commemoration of the United States’ 250th anniversary.

In Times Square, the iconic ball drop will take on a patriotic theme, featuring special red, white, and blue confetti, a new “Constellation Ball” design, and a dynamic pyrotechnic display set to “America the Beautiful.”

In Washington, the Washington Monument will be illuminated into the New Year as part of a six-night light projection event on the National Mall. Beginning on New Year's Eve at 7 p.m. and running past midnight, images—including a towering 250-foot birthday candle—will be projected onto the monument, symbolizing the start of commemorative events across the country.
