New Year's Eve Beach Ball Drop

Make your way to Panama City Beach on December 31st for an exceptional New Year's celebration that embraces both midnight with the giant beach ball drop and the early evening with the kid's beach ball drop including 10,000 inflated beach balls. Pier Park's vibrant streets transform into a pedestrian paradise, hosting thousands in a jubilant atmosphere filled with live music, entertainment, fireworks, and pure joy. 

For those who can't wait for midnight's arrival or those seeking a double dose of New Year's magic, there are not one, but two Beach Ball Drops: the kids' beach ball Drop at around 8PM and the giant beach ball drop at the stroke of midnight. Fireworks will follow both drops and light up the night sky! Whether catering to families with eager young ones or night owls awaiting the turn of the calendar, options abound to revel in the company of fellow celebrants near Panama City Beach's pristine waterfront and abundant amenities.
