This is the first time Puerto Rico will be included in the holiday celebration. The event comes as Puerto Rico's capital San Juan is celebrating its 500th anniversary, which makes San Juan the oldest city in the United States.
The addition of the city aims to add lively celebration — and history — to the annual ABC party.
"The special bolsters Puerto Rico's own monumental year as the capital city of San Juan celebrates its 500th anniversary and continues its world-renowned spirited holiday season; a time of year that vividly reflects the Island's vibrant culture, food, dance, and music through local festivals and celebrations," a release from ABC said.
Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2022 airs Friday, Dec. 31 at 8 pm on ABC.
