Philadelphia New Years Eve 2012 Fireworks Live Stream, Philly NYE Party, EventsNew Years Eve 2011 to welcome 2012 in Philadelphia will once again include popular fireworks shows at both 6 p.m. and midnight. 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 revellers of all ages delighting in a breathtaking fireworks display.
Top spots to watch the fireworks displays on New Year’s Eve: Blue Cross RiverRink, Independence Seaport Museum, Adeventure Aqaurium, Wiggin's Park, Great Plaza at Penn's Landing, Battleship New Jersey, SugarHouse Casino, Spirit of Philadelphia. 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.
Penn's Landing is the waterfront area of the Center City along the Delaware River section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. It is so named because the founder of Pennsylvania, William Penn, docked near here in 1682, along the now paved over Dock Creek, after landing first in New Castle, Delaware, and then at what is now Penn & 2nd Streets in Chester, Pennsylvania. The area is bounded by Front Street to the west, the Delaware River to the east, Spring Garden Street to the north, and Washington Avenue to the south, and is primarily focused on the Christopher Columbus Boulevard (Delaware Avenue) corridor. Most of the area is covered in concrete and is cut off from the city by Interstate 95.
Penn's Landing serves as the site for several summertime events in the city. The main public space at Penn’s Landing is The Great Plaza, a mostly concrete labyrinth located along the Delaware River at Christopher Columbus Boulevard and Chestnut Street. Festival Pier at Spring Garden Street serves as a venue for outdoor concerts, also during the summer months.
