New Year’s Eve in Philadelphia will once again include the wildly popular fireworks shows at both 6 p.m. and midnight in “Sugarhouse Casino Presents Twice the Fireworks, Twice the Fun!”.

Philadelphia’s main attraction on New Year’s Eve, choreographed to a unique soundtrack made specially for the show, draws thousands of people to the Delaware River Waterfront every year.

Conveniently located within a few blocks of Old City, Society Hill and South Street, Penn’s Landing becomes a festive party with revelers of all ages delighting in a breathtaking fireworks display, as does the Camden Waterfront across the river. Check out Visit Philly for a few suggestions on best places to watch.

Take in the 6 p.m. show and spend the rest of your night out on the town, or enjoy a special dinner in the evening and conclude your night with the traditional midnight showing.
