Image: Damon Haimoff/America250 via AP After the crystal ball drops on New Year's Eve in Times Square, it'll rise again, sparkling in red, white and blue to usher in 2026 and launch months of celebrations for the nation's upcoming 250th birthday, AP's Sue Haigh reports. The patriotic touches at this year's Times Square gathering, including a second confetti drop, offer an early glimpse of what's ahead: hundreds of events and programs nationwide. America250 plans a second Times Square ball drop on July 3, the eve of the nation's birthday. That'll mark the first time in 120 years of Times Square ball drops that one was held outside New Year's Eve. Go deeper. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
