Away from the crowds of the New Year's Eve ball drop in Times Square, New York City typically rings in the new year with fireworks displays from Central Park to Coney Island. But for 2025, some had to cancel or change their plans due to ongoing drought conditions.

Downtown Dallas will once again welcome in the new year with a firework display at Reunion Tower. Over 5,000 pyrotechnic special effects will be launched as part of the show this year, according to the organizer.
