Hundreds of people gathered in Pickering Square late Tuesday night to ring in the New Year with a ball drop from the roof of the parking garage.
The ball drop, featuring a large beach ball draped in lights, is an annual tradition in downtown Bangor. This was the first time the ball was dropped from the parking garage. Last year, it was dropped off the roof of Wabanaki Public Health & Wellness. Prior to that, it was dropped from the roof of Paddy Murphy’s.
This year’s celebration, organized by Downtown Bangor Partnership, featured a DJ in the lead up to midnight and confetti canons to mark the start of 2025.
