Good Riddance Day 2025

🎭 We're closing the curtain on 2025 this year at Good Riddance Day, our annual event where we say goodbye to what frustrated us and usher in a new start for the new year. 🎤 Step onto the stage and tell host Jonathan Bennett what you’re leaving behind from this past year. You'll take your ticket into the new year with you and perhaps even get a standing ovation! 🎟️ Join us and find out. 👀

Good Riddance Day is inspired by a Latin American tradition in which New Year’s revelers stuffed dolls with objects representing bad memories before setting them on fire.🔥 The annual event will take place on December 28, 2025 from 12–1pm on the Broadway plaza between 45th and 46th Streets. Join us in saying “Good riddance!” to any unpleasant, unhappy, and downright unwanted memories from 2025. During the event, you'll write what you're leaving in the past on our official Good Riddance Day tickets that will get ripped and partially disposed of – symbolically leaving behind what you don't want and making room for the positive to come in 2026.

Please note: Good Riddance Day is a symbolic event for disposing of singular memories or ideas on our official Good Riddance Day forms that will be provided at the event. It is not a shredding, burning, or disposal event, and we will not accommodate requests to securely dispose of items.
