The Delaware River Waterfront Corporation closes Philadelphia's holiday season with two free fireworks shows over the Delaware River on New Year's Eve, set to a soundtrack. An early show at 6 pm comes well before the second show at midnight, which makes the evening workable for families with young children. The fireworks can be watched for free from several spots along the waterfront, including Race Street Pier, Penn's Landing, Spruce Street Harbor Park, Pier 68 and Washington Avenue Pier. The event listing runs from 6 pm to 12:30 am. The Waterfront Corporation's page also lists riverfront venues such as the Moshulu among the places to watch.

What was checked & what still needs confirmation
The page URL and date (Thursday, Dec 31) fit 2026, but the body text still says 'ring in 2026', i.e. last year's copy; confirm the 2026-27 shows and times closer to the date. No street address is printed for the viewing areas.
