At 60 seconds before midnight, Mayor Thompson will signal the decent of the traditional lighted strawberry from the top of the Hilton Harrisburg and Towers, landing at precisely the moment the New Year begins and signaling the launch of the dramatic "street level" fireworks display that will illuminate the downtown sky and bring the year in with a bang!
