New Year’s Eve will ring in 2026 at the same time the Big Apple will welcome Zohran Mamdani as the new mayor of NYC.
NYS Attorney General Letitia James will administer the oath of office to Mamdani at midnight on Dec. 31, though the exact location of the event has yet to be announced. In recent years, it has taken place in Times Square immediately following the annual New Year’s Eve ball drop.
