\nOverview<\/p>\n
Ring in 2015 twice during SugarHouse Casino\u2019s New Year\u2019s Eve Fireworks on the Delaware River Waterfront. With fireworks shows along the Delaware River at 6 p.m. and midnight, you\u2019ll have plenty of time to find perfect spot to watch the spectacular displays.<\/p>\n
Philadelphia\u2019s main attraction on New Year\u2019s Eve draws thousands of people to the Delaware River Waterfront each year. Conveniently located within a short walk of Old City, Society Hill and South Street, Penn\u2019s Landing becomes a festive party with revelers of all ages delighting in a breathtaking fireworks display.
\nFirst Show: 6 p.m.<\/p>\n
Families or those looking to celebrate the New Year a couple hours early are in luck: The first fireworks show goes down at 6 p.m. on the Delaware River waterfront. With the sun already set an hour before, the setting should be perfect for a wonderful show.
\nSecond Show: Midnight<\/p>\n
To officially ring in the New Year with a spectacular fireworks display, head to the Delaware River waterfront with friends or family before midnight to snag a great seat for the festivities. The 15-minute show starts right at 12 a.m.
\nGetting There And Parking<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re not already in the neighborhood, catch a cab or hop on SEPTA\u2019s Blue Line to Old City. From there it\u2019s approximately a five-minute walk to Penn\u2019s Landing.<\/p>\n
If you must drive, there are multiple parking lots up and down Columbus Boulevard. Head to the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation\u2019s official parking page for hourly rates and locations of parking lots.<\/p>\n
Arrive with time to pick out your spot to watch the fireworks display, but not too early \u2014 December is typically a chilly month in the city.<\/p>\n
The show, approximately 15 minutes in length, has a beautiful backdrop with the illuminated Benjamin Franklin Bridge and, if viewed from Camden, the Philadelphia skyline.<\/p>\n
After the show, make your way back to Old City, where you can choose from countless places to continue the celebration.
\nBest Places To Watch<\/p>\n
The Delaware River Waterfront, both Philadelphia and New Jersey sides, features fantastic views of the fireworks display.<\/p>\n
