Kelly Lafferty Gerber | Kokomo Tribune The annual New Yearâs Eve ball drop in downtown Kokomo has been canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. Rather than gathering hundreds of people downtown for the ball drop this New Yearâs Eve, the Greater Kokomo Downtown Association is offering several ways for community members to celebrate the holiday throughout December, according to a press release. One way to get into the spirit is to get an up-close look at the lighted ball models used for Kokomoâs New Yearâs Eve ball drop event, according to the release. The ball models are available for viewing at the Markland Mall.
