In the United States, New Year's Eve is celebrated with formal parties and family-oriented activities. Celebrations often center on dropping or raising an item during the countdown, especially on the East coast. New Year's Day is a public holiday in the United States. Since 1907, the "ball drop" in New York City's Times Square has been a major component of the New Year's Eve celebration, and it has been seen by nearly a million people every year.
