America250: Ball Drops & Bubbles

Celebrate a once-in-a-generation milestone from the heart of it all!

In honor of America’s 250th anniversary, for the first time in history, the Times Square ball will drop on a night other than New Year’s Eve – in fact, 8 Ball Drops will take place as we ring in Independence Day across 8 time zones, each with a different ball design.

Right now, the only publicly announced way to see the America250 Ball Drops is via live broadcast. Tickets to view the Ball Drops live in Times Square are not available to the public, and it’s anyone’s guess if they ever will be.

That’s where this package comes in. Score a coveted "ball drop" room with a clear, rear view of the action on July 3 and July 4, as the celebration unfolds. And while everyone else is watching on a screen, you’ll be watching live, in person, from a cozy, crowd-free perch at LUMA Hotel Times Square.

And because a front row seat to history deserves refreshments…

From June 29 - July 5, AperiBar goes full celebratory mode with two limited-time America250 menus — featuring festive Spritz Speciale cocktails and exclusive food specials available only during Independence Week.

This is the ultimate Ball Drop experience — minus the barricades, plus bubbles.
