For this year's celebration, Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve is adding another west coast stage at Disneyland. Ciara will host the newest New Year's installment from the happiest place on Earth.

Not only will Disneyland serve as a magical backdrop for the calendar change, but it will also mark the start of the Disney 100 Years of Wonder celebration. The year-long event, which begins in parks on Jan. 27, will celebrate 100 years of Disney while looking ahead to the next 100, with all new events and offerings throughout 2023.

The 2022-2023 show marks Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve's 51st anniversary.

While ringing in 2022, the ABC broadcast hit 24.2 million viewers. It also welcomed a live audience back, with restrictions, to Times Square after COVID quarantine made the 2021 show only open to remote viewing.

Musical guests have not been announced for the 2023 event.
