The Glitter City Gala
New Year's Eve 2023 in Philadelphia
The Crystal Tea Room - Center City
8pm (doors open) - 2am (last call 1:30am)
New Year's Eve is all about your friends, the party, what's included, and the location - and this year, we have the very best option at Philly's most exclusive venue - The Crystal Tea Room! The Glitter City Gala will be the most well-attended, fun, and talked about New Year's Eve event ever in Philadelphia. 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 top Philly-area DJs complete with a laser & light show getting you to party the night away. View Event-Action videos from past Glitter City Gala's below!
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 Liberty Bell 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, The Liberty Bell stops and 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. Philly's only Liberty Bell Drop™ - a moment you'll never forget and you can only experience it at the Glitter City Gala. |

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!
Support Charity
We believe that every great party should support charity. That's why we are supporting the Trauma Survivors Foundation with our annual Silent Auction. Amazing sports & music memorabilia, trips, and other quality options will all be available. Credit card accepted.
About The Party
The best venue, tons of bars & bartenders (no long lines for drinks!), complimentary soft drinks & bottled water, and a "to go" table with philly soft pretzels, the hottest crowd, live DJ concert with Philly's best DJs on stage, professional photographers and videographer, giant ball drop screens, dancing, martinis, champagne, people watching, multiple rooms, separate VIP area, great food buffets, and premium / top-shelf (VIPs) name-brand drinks.
Spend this New Year’s Eve in the heart of Philadelphia at the most jaw-dropping site the city has to offer, The Crystal Tea Room.
