The iconic 2025 numerals have arrived in Times Square, marking the countdown to the world's most famous New Year's Eve celebration.
The clock is counting down the days until New York City ushers in 2025, and Times Square rang in the countdown to its biggest bash of the year, the world’s most famous New Year’s Eve celebration, with the arrival of the iconic “2025” numerals on Wednesday. Times Square and KIA America representatives and the public gathered on Broadway Plaza between 46th and 47th Street, where they welcomed the four seven-foot-tall numerals.
Tom Harris, president of the Times Square Alliance, one of the co-organizers of Times Square New Year’s Eve, called the arrival of the numerals an “exciting time” of the year.The 2025 numerals arrived in Times Square on Dec. 18. James Bell, director of Corporate Communications of Kia America, one of the official New Year’s Eve sponsors, shared KIA was proudly looking forward to the event every year. “We have a policy called ‘Accelerate the Good,’ and part of that is what we like to really remind people that this is a season of giving,” Bell explained. “So our gift to the world are these numerals that will be illuminated on New Year’s Eve.” The numbers weigh a combined 1,200 pounds -the heaviest number is the number zero, weighing 380 pounds. A total of 620 LED light bulbs – the numerals “2” contain 145 bulbs, the numeral “0” 164 bulbs, and the numeral “5” 166 bulbs- will illuminate the digits at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve. Times Square visitors can get a close-up view of the numbers and pose for photo ops until the early morning hours of Dec. 23 before they will be moved from the Plaza and are hoisted atop One Times Square and be lit up once the ball has dropped when thousands of Times Square New Year’s Eve revelers ring in 2025.Brooklynite Teresa Hui has been attending the New Year’s Eve Numeral arrival since 2016
