New Year's Eve Wishing Wall
Your wishes for 2013 will be added to the confetti that flutters down in the heart of Times Square on New Year's Eve!
Each year people from around the globe write their wishes for the New Year on pieces of official Times Square New Year’s Eve confetti. Whether it’s a personal goal, a dream for the future or doing something for the very first time, these wishes will be posted on the New Year’s Eve Wishing Wall located in the Times Square Visitor Center (7th Ave between 46th & 47th Streets, open 7 Days a Week, 8AM - 8PM).
The wishes are collected at the end of the year, and added to the one ton of confetti that flutters down at midnight onto the crowd gathered in Times Square in celebration of the New Year.
Stars of the "New Year's Eve Movie" make their wish for the New Year.
