In a nod to revolutionary history, the organizers behind the iconic Times Square Ball Drop are planning a special event for 2026. This summer spectacle will commemorate the 250th anniversary of America’s founding, a historic first since the tradition’s inception on New Year’s Eve in 1907.

The plans, as obtained by The Post, detail that a second ball drop is set to occur on July 3, 2026. This unprecedented event will serve as a patriotic celebration, adding a new chapter to the storied New Year’s Eve festivities.

As a sneak peek to these summer plans, a preview is scheduled for just after midnight on January 1. Following the customary ball drop and the nostalgic notes of “Auld Lang Syne,” the ball will illuminate in vibrant red, white, and blue hues.

This dazzling display will be accompanied by a release of 2,000 pounds of patriotic confetti, showering the crowd in a colorful tribute. To further enhance the celebration, broadcast networks will air a special video presentation titled “America Turns 250.”

The festivities will crescendo with a dramatic pyrotechnic finale set to the stirring anthem “America the Beautiful,” promising a memorable start to the nation’s milestone year.

“To ring in the 4th of July, starting with the same type of festivities that you would normally see on New Year’s Eve — what better way to represent this global impact that we as a country have and the responsibility that comes with that?” Rosie Rios, Chair of America250, told The Post.

“Whatever you’re imagining as a broadcast performance, it’s much more than that. It’s going to be huge, and it’s going to be beyond anyone’s expectations,” Rios teased about her team’s grand plans for Independence Day.

America250 is the nonpartisan organization Congress tasked with planning the national commemoration and festivities to mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

The group is partnering with One Times Square and the Times Square Alliance to stage the special second ball drop.

“One Times Square has long been a place where the world comes together to celebrate pivotal moments—from the end of World War II to the moon landing,” said Michael Phillips, president of Jamestown L.P., which owns and operates One Times Square.

Organizers have also developed a new “Constellation Ball,” featuring crystals and Morse code messages in flashing lights, that will be deployed during this year’s New York’s Eve ball drop. The design of the America250 ball for the July 3 drop will be unveiled just before the clock strikes midnight on Dec. 31.

“Our goal is to inspire all 350 million Americans to join in this moment to celebrate our country,” Rios stressed to The Post.

“No one else has ever made that grand proclamation that we’re going to engage 350 million Americans in anything. This is the way to do it.”
