Celebrate strokes of midnight around the world during our Virtual Balloon Drop New Year Celebration! We are ready to start fresh with a new year. We hope you’ll join us in looking forward to a poppin’ 2021 with hope and optimism!
When it’s noon in Oakland, it will be 2021 somewhere on the planet. Ring in the new year without staying up late as we countdown to 2021 at 12 p.m. Continuing a 20-year Bay Area tradition, our party will feature hundreds of colorful, bio-degradable balloons raining down from above!
Attendees will receive a special STEM Kit, filled with supplies for activities we will be doing during the celebration! Join us for exciting hands-on activities led by our Galaxy Explorers and an activity led by the Nano@Stanford and Stanford XLab teams! Activities include materials to make your own catapult, planet models, a magnetic experiment and your very own balloon drop engineering challenge.
We will end the party with a special New Year drink recipe activity for the whole family and a dance party countdown to ring in 2021. This event will be fun for attendees of all ages!
This year, our party will take place via Zoom. To keep our celebration safe and fun, we have decided to continue our tradition virtually. Upon registration, a Zoom event link will be sent you via email upon registration.
