Times Square Ball Drops Eight Times | Texas News

This Fourth of July, Times Square’s iconic ball drops eight times — not for New Year’s, but to celebrate America’s 250th birthday. Starting July 3rd at 9 p.m. ET, the countdown will hit every U.S. time zone, broadcast live with Jim Gaffigan hosting and performances from Mary J. Blige, Brad Paisley, and NE-YO. It’s a free, nationwide event organized by America250 to unite the country and inspire charitable giving — no street view, just a shared moment across the nation.
