confetti throwing

Party paper toss

Confetti throwing is the act of tossing small pieces of colored paper into the air during celebrations.

It marks moments of triumph or joy—weddings, parades, New Year's Eve countdowns, championship victories: The confetti throwing began the moment the ball dropped.

The practice creates a brief, festive visual spectacle as fragments flutter down over celebrants.
