Don’t miss the event of the year!
A new tradition has started on Panama City Beach and it's time for you to join in on the fun! On December 31, Panama City Beach will rock in 2013 with the fourth annual Beach Ball Drop hosted by Pier Park. The Beach Ball Drop event represents what the destination is all about - white sand beaches, family togetherness and just plain fun!

The 800-pound glowing beach ball begins the more than 100-foot descent just before midnight on December 31. Pier Park festivities, free and open to the public, begin at 5:30 p.m. with family-friendly entertainment.
