Fireworks shows on New Years Eve
Display location:Delaware River
City:Philadelphia
State:PA
Date:New Year's Eve
Details: The Delaware River Waterfront Corporation announced Tuesday it will produce not one but two fireworks shows this New Year's Eve.
In addition to the traditional show at midnight, there will now be an earlier show at 6 p.m.
Both shows will be choreographed to unique soundtracks and launched from barges in the middle of the Delaware River with clear views from both Philadelphia and Camden.
Visitors to both the Philadelphia and Camden waterfronts will be able to hear the synchronized soundtracks for the fireworks from speakers on the Great Plaza at Penn's Landing and Wiggins Park in Camden.
KYW Newsradio will broadcast the official soundtracks to both shows to allow revelers wherever they are watching to tune to 1060 AM to enjoy the fireworks displays with their coordinating soundtracks.
CBS 3 will televise the traditional fireworks show live at midnight, along with a special pre-show leading up to the countdown so the entire Greater Philadelphia region can ring in the New Year with a bang.

100 years ago in Bucks
The disheveled bard entered the weary-eyed editor's apartment.
"Is there an opening here for a poet?" he inquired.
"Yes, indeed," replied the editor, touching a button underneath his desk, and the next instant the poet disappeared through a trap door in the floor.
