Greater Fort Lauderdale will take center stage during CNN’s “New Year’s Eve Live with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen,” showcasing its vibrant waterfront celebration as the region welcomes 2026. Visit Lauderdale, the area’s tourism agency, promises a full day of festivities—from family-friendly fun at the Museum of Discovery and Science, featuring music, dance-offs, and interactive exhibits, to a lively beach ball drop at noon for early revelers. As evening falls, the spotlight shifts to Pier Sixty-Six, where a luxurious Sanlorenzo yacht will host a nationally televised, three-minute segment highlighting the destination’s dynamic water culture. To amplify the excitement, Visit Lauderdale will pair the broadcast with bold Times Square advertising, sharing Greater Fort Lauderdale’s energy and diversity with millions worldwide.
