Three thousand pounds of confetti is dropped on New York’s Times Square at midnight on New Year’s Eve. Treb Heining has been in charge of that for more than three decades. Last year, Heining’s crew at his location dropped all green confetti, the favorite color of his friend Tommy DeLorenzo, who died in October 2024. This year will include a post-midnight drop of 2,000 pounds of red, white and blue confetti at 12:04 a.m. to celebrate the nation’s upcoming 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence signing. “We’ll be doing something a little new this year that’s never been done before,” Heining said. #nye #nyc #timessquare #confetti
