VIDEO: New York City skies will be a little less bright this New Year’s Eve. An historic drought and record brush fire period in November led the city to pull all fireworks permits for New Year’s Eve. That means the annual tradition of sending off fireworks over Central Park and Prospect Park will be on hold until 2025. โThough hosting firework shows has long been a tradition in New York Cityโs parks, the unprecedented number of brush fires weโve seen devastate our green spaces over the past few weeks require us to make smart decisions to help keep our city safe,โ said NYC Parks Commissioner Donoghue.
