About This Event:
Tonight we're gonna party like it's 1776!

The Glitter City Gala is the longest running, most well-attended, fun, and talked about New Year's Eve event in Philadelphia. Each year, over 1,800 guests to "dress up, get down and ring in the New Year right" each year with multiple party floors and amazing party action!

The National Constitution Center provides the perfect backdrop for the night's festivities. The space is the absolute best in the entire city, featuring specialty bars and gorgeous lighting. It also offers an outstanding view of the fireworks at midnight. One thing is for sure... if you wait to buy tickets, you will not get them as they will sell out soon.

VIPs can party in a separate, private location inside the National Constitution Center so we can cater to you in style with your own super-star DJ Adam Bennett & top-shelf bars.

Tons of bars & bartenders, the hottest crowd, bands, DJs, professional photographers and videographers, ball drop, dancing, martinis, champagne, people watching, multiple floors, grand staircases, fireworks views, great food & name-brand drinks (yes, Bacardi, Jack Daniels, Stoli, Three Olives, etc), and MUCH MORE. Interested yet? Yeah, we thought so...
