In the hours leading up to midnight and the dawning of the new year, much partying and celebration will occur, including the tradition of dropping objects from tall buildings to mark the moment. Two hours after the Times Square Ball falls on New Year's Eve a giant Idaho Potato will be lowered in front of the state capitol building in Boise, Idaho.

Preceded by an open-air party with live music and food trucks, the dropping of the state’s signature vegetable will be followed by a fireworks display.
