(CNN) — Event organizers for the annual Times Square New Year's Eve celebration announced that the countdown will take place this year, albeit with some changes in format. "One thing that will never change is the ticking of time and the arrival of a New Year at midnight on December 31st," said Tim Tompkins, president of the Times Square Alliance, in a release. "But this year there will be significantly new and enhanced virtual, visual and digital offerings to complement whatever limited live entertainment or experiences -- still in development -- will take place in Times Square." Precise planning details remain scarce but the release indicated celebrities and notable people from 2020 will still take part. "More details to come; either way, we will be celebrating with you in some form on the 31st," Tompkins said in the release.
