Prepare for a historically unprecedented spectacle as the iconic sphere descends in the heat of summer for the very first time. The Times Square Ball Drop is teaming up with America250 to celebrate the nation’s 250th birthday on the eve of the Fourth of July, dropping the decorated ball to ring in the Semiquincentennial.
