\n For the first time in 114 years, there will be no crowd in Times Square to cheer the famed New Year\u2019s Eve ball drop.<\/p>\n

In the latest COVID-19-induced blow to Big App<\/a>le traditions, officials announced major changes to the annual event Wednesday \u2014 saying that while the ball will still drop, the usual packed celebration will be a no-go.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne thing that will never change is the ticking of time and the arrival of a New Year at midnight on December 31st,\u201d said Tim Tompkins, the president of the Times Square Alliance, in a news<\/a> release.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut this year there will be significantly new and enhanced virtual, visual and digital offerings to complement whatever limited live entertainment or experiences \u2013 still in development \u2014 will take place in Times Square.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tompkins added to The Post that Times Square will be cordoned off from the general<\/a> public by the NYPD and any event taking place inside the tourist hub will be for \u201cbroadcast purposes only.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be some social<\/a>ly distanced activities in Times square but it\u2019s going to be primarily for a broadcast and streaming audience,\u201d Tompkins said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be a very finite number of people in Times Square to sort of make that happen for the broadcast purposes but there\u2019s not going to be crowds of the general public.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s yet to be decided what live events will take place. The news release states there will be \u201can extremely limited group of in-person honorees, socially distanced, who will reflect the themes, challenges and inspirations of 2020.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fans of the event will have to tune in from home.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore than ever in these divided and fear-filled times, the world desperately needs to come together symbolically and virtually to celebrate the people and things we love and to look forward with a sense of renewal and new beginnings,\u201d Tompkins said.<\/p>\n

Jamestown, the owner of One Times Square where the ball has dropped since 1907, has built a \u201cvirtual world of Times Square\u201d along with a free app that\u2019ll broadcast whatever celebrations end up happening and the iconic drop.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will miss everyone this year but we will bring our celebration to you, whether you want to turn off and turn away from the bad news of 2020, or turn to the new year with a sense of hope, renewal and resolution, you\u2019ll be able to join us virtually like never before as part of the Times Square 2021 celebration,\u201d said Jeff Strauss, the President of Countdown Entertainment, which co-produces the event alongside the Alliance.<\/p>\n

The digital drop will include a celebration \u201cof the best of the human spirit\u201d that includes essential workers, first responders, doctors and scientists. The usual \u201cemerging and established entertainers, musicians and artists\u201d will also be part of the event.<\/p>\n

Mayor Bill de Blasio commended the organizers for creating \u201ca safe, creative and innovative way for all of us to continue to celebrate this century old-tradition.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA new year means a fresh start, and we\u2019re excited to celebrate,\u201d he said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
