Visit PA New Year’s Eve Fireworks on the Waterfront. It will be sort of a double header. Check out either an early-evening or late fireworks show. Or see both! The spectacular display will be more illuminating this year, with fireworks lighting up the skies from three areas stretched along the waterfront. The National Liberty Museum will bring the Liberty Bell’s kid sister – a 2,000-pound, fully operational Liberty Bell replica, cast at London’s Whitechapel Bell Foundry – to ring in the new year, Philadelphia style. The bell will honor 2026’s America’s 250th anniversary celebration highlighting the signing of the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia. Families can check out the Cherry Street Pier’s New Year’s Eve Kids Countdown with PopUpPlay. Celebrate New Year’s Eve early with front-row views of the Visit PA New Year’s Eve Fireworks on the Waterfront with a balloon drop, music, crafts, and warming stations. Single tickets:$27; Free for kids age 2 and under (cash bar for adults 21+); 5 p.m. EST to 7 p.m. EST. The bell will be located at one of the ticketed parties at the Cherry Street Pier, 121 N. Columbus Blvd. in the Garden area closest to the waterfront. Two free fireworks shows at 6 p.m. EST & midnight. Also: you can attend various paying parties on the waterfront including at Cherry Street Pier and Independence Blue Cross RiverRink Winterfest, 101 S. Columbus Blvd. Individual tickets ($32) can be purchased here or from the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation
