This year, over 1,500 guests will again "dress up, get down and ring in the New Year right" in multiple party rooms & areas with live performances by Special Band (TBA November 18th) & DJ Smooth along with other top Philly-area DJs complete with a laser & light show getting you to party the night away.

Join Us for Philly's LIVE "Liberty Bell Drop"!
Close your eyes and picture it: It's a few minutes before midnight and the clock is counting down. Then we hit 11:59pm and our own special lit up Balloon Drop starts to fall. We inch closer to the new year and then everyone starts to shout "10, 9, 8...." all the way to "1"... As the clock strikes 12, balloons fall on the crowd at the stroke of midnight to ring in the new year. WOW IS RIGHT! There will be something truly amazing happening at this event.

About The Venue
Chandeliers dripping in crystal surround you in Philly’s crown jewel, and the Crystal Tea Room is nothing short of an architectural gem. Perched atop the iconic Wannamaker Building, which once housed the most popular department store in Philadelphia, the Crystal Tea room is a landmark in its own right. Historic yet refined with contemporary embellishments, this venue is a structural phenomenon highlighted by intricately-carved columns, elaborate crown molding, and an expansive dance floor. The list of noteworthy events that have taken place here is endless with celebrities such as Tim McGraw and Faith Hill hosting iconic evenings. The most sought-after event in Philadelphia year after year is sure to outdo itself this December!
