Final crystal triangles installed on Times Square ball ahead of New Year's Eve
The last of the crystal triangles that make up this year’s Times Square New Year’s Eve ball have been installed, marking the first time in 10 years that all 2,688 were replaced at once. Rapper Pitbull and inventor Joy Mangano were on hand on Friday to help the co-organizers of the 2025 New Year’s Eve celebration in Times Square atop One Times Square to install the last few crystals.
