Ring in the Year of the Sheep at the 16th Annual Chinatown Lunar New
Year Parade & Festival. According to Chinese astrology, people born
under the sign (if you’re turning a multiple of 12 in the next year,
that’s you) love creativity; whether that translates into a
larger-than-usual turnout remains to be seen. Either way, you can
expect crowds, food vendors, traditional lion and dragon dances,
costumes, floats and multicolored confetti that you’ll be picking from
your hair days later. While you’re in the neighborhood, be sure to eat
some auspicious New Year foods, like noodles for longevity and a whole
fish for abundance.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Before the year ends, write your dreams on the confetti that will fall at Times Square!

As the new year comes and the old one goes, we all have new dreams, resolutions and aspirations.

But, did you know that you can write down your wishes, dreams, and personal goals on a piece of confetti and let it rain down on New Year's Eve at Times Square?

I bet you didn't! I didn't find out until just now. 

Here's how:

From now through December 31, 2013, visit the Times Square Museum and Visitor Center
(7th Avenue between 46th and 47th Street and write it all down!

Who knows? May all your wishes, dreams and goals come true for the new year!

UPDATE for those who can't physically make it to Times Square (or too lazy to), you can submit your wishes to the Virtual Wishing Wall online and they will gladly print your wish on a confetti!

Virtual Wishing Wall
Can’t make it to Times Square? No worries, your wishes can still fall from the sky this New Year’s. Just submit your wish, your dream, your first, online. We will print it onto a piece of confetti for you, so that no matter where you are on New Year's Eve, your wish will be part of the Times Square celebration. Happy New Year!
