Blockbuster Eagles-Themed Fireworks Show To Light Up The Sky Over New Hope

NEW HOPE, PA — Eagles spirit will be soaring high above the Delaware River on Friday night, Sept. 5 in New Hope-Lambertville.

Visit New Hope and the New Hope Chamber of Commerce, with support from Union Chill and New Hope Celebrates, will close out its 2025 Summer Series with an Eagles pep rally, fireworks and drone show.

"The award-winning town of New Hope aims to put on the biggest and best pep rally for our Eagles on First Friday in September," said Michael Sklar, president of New Hope Chamber of Commerce and Visit New Hope. "We broke records and 10,000 people came out for our last display, and we are so thrilled to add a new twist to our season finale. I already have my Birds jersey picked out and encourage everyone to wear green. We will have family fun, music, drink specials and the show itself. The energy and excitement for our fireworks and drone show built all year and we can't wait to combine that with our Philly sports fan spirit."

He added, “Bringing a Philadelphia Eagles theme into the mix will crank the excitement even higher — it’s going to be a huge town party and the region's largest public pep rally."

The event kicks off from 5 to 9 p.m. with a block party on Stockton Avenue. The party will feature local vendors including 1675 Spirits (also featuring Wildwood Days), Kitty Couture, Wandering Wildflowers, Remi Threadz, Malina Crafts, Bead on!, Energy Revealed, Lumberville Candle, Simply Grace, Stitched Together, Wild Hart Paper Shop & Studio, Cassondra Joy Art & Design, To Dye For, Freitag Arts, Elka’s Farm, and Solebury Nectar. The road will be closed to vehicle traffic starting at 2 p.m.

In addition to the block party, look for added vendors popping up next to the New Hope Visitor Center on South Main Street.

The first 500 people who visit the block party and visitor center pop-up will enjoy a complimentary green glow-in-the-dark surprise to show their glowing pride during the display. Look for volunteers in town and by the bridge collecting donations and with other fun surprises.

The synchronized fireworks and drone show is scheduled to begin around 9:10 or 9:15 p.m. Speakers will be set up in the parking lot of the Bucks County Playhouse with music synchronized to the fireworks and drone show.

Visitors are also encouraged to bring a Bluetooth speaker and download the Pyrocast app (code: F683) to sync with the official fireworks and drone show soundtrack and enjoy a fully immersive show from wherever they are in town.

"New Hope is one of Pennsylvania's top destinations to visit in the summer and fall months," said Sklar. "Our charming Bucks County town is the quintessential place for a great American getaway. This program lets us light up the night skies and offer a monthly celebration that brings together over 10,000 people for a night of food, drink, art, music and fireworks. There's truly something magical about this new tradition."

He concluded, "We started this pilot program in 2023 and it grew dramatically in 2024. We are proud to keep adding and expanding it each and every year. The show and block party gives a boost to local businesses. It adds to the overall summer experience and drives visitors to our restaurants, shops and hotels. Additionally, it lets us offer opportunities for talented artists and vendors to showcase and sell their work - and hopefully encourage them long-term to look to open a brick and mortar in New Hope."
