In the United States, which New Year's Eve object is lowered in Miami's Bayfront Park?

The Big Orange is the New Year's Eve object lowered in Miami's Bayfront Park.

Miami's Big Orange is a large illuminated orange that descends during the city's countdown. The design reflects Florida's long association with citrus production and gives Miami a distinctive alternative to the ball drops used in New York and other American cities.

The object is lowered at midnight as part of Miami's official New Year's Eve celebration. The event generally includes live entertainment, fireworks, and a public gathering at Bayfront Park, a waterfront park in downtown Miami.

The Big Orange is sometimes confused with New York City's Times Square Ball because both are lowered to signal midnight. They are separate traditions in different cities. Miami's citrus-themed symbol also differs from the giant orange-shaped drop formerly associated with other Florida communities, so the city named in the question matters.
