STATE News:
LAS CRUCES In a normal year, thousands of visitors flock to Las Cruces for a unique New Year’s Eve celebration and tradition – the annual Chile Drop.
Like the Times Square New Year’s Eve Ball Drop, the Chile Drop features a New Year countdown with a 19-foot long chrome chile, a tribute to the New Mexico’s world-renowned red and green chile, decorated with 400 feet of programmed LED lighting.
LAS CRUCES, New Mexico Will it be red, green or both?!
After a year of canceled celebrations, Las Cruces residents can safely ring in the new year with a special broadcast of the 2020 Chile Drop. 2020 has been a real challenge for everyone, said Russ Smith, who has planned all seven years of the Chile Drop with the Downtown Las Cruces Partnership. Much of what we wanted hasn t come to pass. I didn t want that to happen to the Chile Drop.
There is no crowd or event in downtown Las Cruces, but at 11:55 p.m., viewers can tune in to the El Paso-Las Cruces CW and KVIA.com to watch the chile pepper drop in a remote corner of Las Cruces.
