With many eager to bid farewell to 2020, take a look back at popular New Year s traditions both near and far.
History of the Times Square Ball
Perhaps the most iconic New Year celebration in the United States and recently the world is the annual ball drop in Times Square.
While this year s broadcast will be devoid of candid crowd shots of densely packed celebrants due to COVID-19 mitigation restricting a large group congregating, those tuning in can still expect to see the ball descend in the last few moments before midnight as it has most years since it was first introduced in 1907.
Ginger Zee Stands In Front Of Times Square Ball, Says She Can See 2021
Good Morning America. The chief meteorologist for the morning news series was steps away from
GMA s indoor studios located in the middle of Times Square. She stood in a place many people do not get to experience, the top of One Times Square, where the glittering ball will fall and usher in a new year.
Ginger stood with an umbrella over her head for shelter from the rainy New York City weather. She wore a gray fedora atop her blondish-brown curly tresses. She added a gray trench coat, black gloves, and knee boots. In the snap, she waited for her shot to begin as she looked up toward the sky. The candid moment was captured by Samantha Wnek, a meteorologist and weather producer for the morning show.
