PHILADELPHIA (November 6, 2025) — The Delaware River Waterfront Corporation (DRWC), producer of Philadelphia’s iconic Visit PA New Year’s Eve Fireworks on the Waterfront, and organizers of the city’s beloved Mummers Parade, came together today to announce their plans to ring in the new year, as the nation prepares to celebrate its 250th Anniversary in 2026.
DRWC announced the return of Visit PA as the presenting sponsor of the Visit PA New Year's Eve Fireworks at 6 PM and midnight, promising bigger and brighter fireworks than ever before. This year, three firework barges will be strategically positioned along the Waterfront for both shows, providing spectacular, free viewing opportunities from multiple vantage points across the city. Additional ticketed festivities will further the fun at Cherry Street Pier and Independence Blue Cross RiverRink Winterfest. To cue the fireworks, the National Liberty Museum will bring the younger “sibling” to the Liberty Bell – a fully operational replica cast from the same mold and foundry – to ring in the New Year.
