New Year's 2023- US countdown celebrations feature fireworks, return of traditions

An array of quirky State traditions and impressive fireworks returned with a bang this year across the US, ringing in the New Year with colourful displays and joyful celebrations. The annual New Year's Eve Peach Drop, a Georgia tradition, returned to Atlanta after the last three-year editions were cancelled due to COVID restrictions. Meanwhile, as the clock struck midnight to ring in 2023, Seattle held a fireworks show at the Space Needle, with the addition of drones.
