New Year’s Eve Fireworks on the Waterfront

As the grand finale of Philadelphia’s holiday season, ring in 2026 with the brightest fireworks show in the area. Enjoy the vibrant show set to an exhilarating soundtrack for an unforgettable New Year's start.


 Enjoy two shows: 6 pm and midnight.

The New Year's Eve Fireworks on the Waterfront can be viewed for free along the Waterfront at Race Street Pier, Penn's Landing, Spruce Street Harbor Park, Pier 68, and Washington Avenue Pier, as well as the Moshulu, Keating's Rope & Anchor, the Spirit of Philadelphia, Independence Seaport Museum, Fringe Arts, Dave & Busters, and Rivers Casino.

What to Know Before You Go
Parking on-site will be limited due to construction on the I-95 CAP. However, many great ways to access the Waterfront include walking and biking along the Delaware River Trail, rideshare, and public transit. To ensure a seamless visit, guests can visit the Know Before You Go guide for parking recommendations, directions, FAQs, and more.
