Good Riddance Day is an annual event in Times Square where you can say goodbye to the past and start the new year with a fresh start.

Tell us what you’re leaving behind, and then make it disappear in an interactive, fun, and fiery trick with a professional magician!

Good Riddance Day is inspired by a Latin American tradition in which New Year’s revelers stuffed dolls with objects representing bad memories before setting them on fire. Join us in destroying symbols of any unpleasant, unhappy, and downright unwanted memories from the past year. Write down your most embarrassing moments, your greatest fails, and biggest regrets on official Good Riddance Day forms and get rid of them before we move into 2024.
