Times Square 2000
(New York City)
December 31, 1999
 Times
Square 2000, the Global Celebration at the Crossroads of the World, will be
a time of fun and festivity as well as an opportunity for tradition, reflection
and unity. The 24-hour Millennium celebration of the planet’s peoples and
cultures is expected to attract more than a half million revellers to Times
Square and over 300 million television viewers worldwide.
Times Square hosts the largest, oldest and best known New
Year’s Eve celebration in the world, marked by the 93-year-old tradition of
lowering a ball atop One Times Square. Times Square welcomes millions of
international visitors annually and is the home of many of the world’s most
respected communications and entertainment companies.
Times Square 2000 will begin at 7 a.m. Eastern Standard Time,
December 31, 1999, when the New Year arrives in the South Pacific. Giant
television screens placed throughout Times Square will broadcast images of
people and their cultures -- from Jerusalem, to Sri Lanka, to Rio de Janeiro, to
Iceland -- as the dawn of the year 2000 travels across the globe.
The celebration will continue until the New Year has been
observed in all 24 time zones. Times Square 2000 will capture the best of
popular, indigenous cultures, aiming to be inclusive and true to the integrity
of the communities.
