After a crazy-pants 2017, we could all use a good rager on New Year’s Eve. Philadelphia offers no shortage of parties and events, whether you want to ring in 2018 under a booming sky of fireworks at Blue Cross RiverRink Winterfest or dance your cares away at one of the coolest Philadelphia nightclubs.

When is New Year’s Eve?
New Year’s Eve takes place on the last day of the year—December 31, 2017. Most parties get going in Philadelphia around 8pm.

In Philadelphia, you have two chances to catch the SugarHouse Casino New Year's Eve Fireworks spectacle on the Delaware River Waterfront—at 6pm and then again at midnight. They can be seen from most anywhere in the city, but we like a good rooftop or a spot along the river so you can look straight up at the lights in all their glory.
