New Year's Eve Beach Ball Drop

Celebrate the New Year on the Beach!

Kick off the evening at 8 PM at Aaron Bessant Park and Pier Park Drive with a family-friendly countdown full of live music, dazzling fireworks, and the release of 15,000 beach balls into the crowd!

As midnight draws near, join thousands of revelers at the Celebration Tower—taller than the iconic pole at Times Square—for the grand finale. Watch a massive glowing beach ball descend, signaling the start of the New Year, and enjoy a second round of spectacular fireworks lighting up the sky. It’s a night of music, magic, and memories you won’t want to miss!
