Special Wheel Lighting: New Years Eve Countdown
Santa Monica Pier's Pacific Park counts down to the New Year with a light display on the Ferris Wheel, featuring fun designs, colorful displays, and a 60 second countdown in huge animated numbers on the Pacific Wheel.
Following the countdown, the Ferris wheel display wishes everyone “Happy New Year” in 16 different languages including Spanish, Chinese, Hindi, Portuguese, and Japanese.
The wheel can be viewed on the pier's live webcam and social media.
The display begins at 11:30pm Pacific, (that's 1:30am Central and 2:30am Eastern)
