Berlin’s NYE comes in two editions

Thousands of residents and visitors can ring in the new year, and the new decade, next Tuesday in downtown Berlin with two ball drops.

Ivy Wells, Berlin’s economic and community development director, said the festivities started about seven years ago. It’s since developed into a popular town event.

“It started small, and it was also for locals who didn’t want to drive on New Year’s Eve, but wanted to come down and celebrate with their neighbors, and their friends, and then now it’s [grown] into such a large event,” Wells said.

There are two opportunities to partake in the holiday’s free festivities: the kids’ and adult ball drops.
