Ring in the new year with the National Liberty Museum on the Delaware River Waterfront! Philadelphia’s New Year’s Eve celebration at Cherry Street Pier will feature a striking new addition — our very own 2,000-pound replica of the Liberty Bell, leaving its home at the Museum for the first time in over 20 years. This “younger sibling” bell, complete with a matching crack, will ring in 2026 as fireworks light up the sky, symbolizing the city’s historic role in America’s story and setting the stage for the nation’s 250th anniversary. Visitors to Cherry Street Pier will have the chance to touch, ring, and take photos with the bell as the Museum showcases this powerful symbol of freedom.
