Night Lights on South Broad, November 7
Matt White sent this in:
WHAT: The Center City District will bathe building facades along the Avenue of the Arts with dazzling murals of light. In a fun, family-friendly event, there will be music, entertainment, free light-oriented giveaways and South Broad Street restaurants will be set up along the Avenue with booths selling finger food and beverages. Entertainment includes Joy Unlimited Gospel Choir, the Villanova University Marching Band, Mummertime, the Dixie Kings, the Mark Stinger Band, 60's Sensation, the West Philadelphia Orchestra and Rumble, the UARTS bucket drummers. Roving entertainment will include roller skaters, jugglers, stilt walkers, costumed characters, magicians and caricaturists. Terra Hall at Broad and Walnut will be lit in a brief “son et lumiere” presentation to the Philadelphia Orchestra’s recording of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony at 5:30, 7 and 8 p.m.
WHEN: 5-8 p.m., Wednesday, November 7 (Rain or shine)
WHERE: South Broad Street from City Hall to Pine Street. Buildings to be specially lit will be The Ritz-Carlton Philadelphia (Broad and Chestnut), University of the Arts Terra Hall (Broad and Walnut), The University of the Arts Merriam Theater (Broad between Locust and Spruce) and The University of the Arts Dorrance Hamilton Hall and Anderson Hall (both on Broad between Spruce and Pine.)
WHAT ELSE? The projected lighting displays at the Ritz-Carlton, Merriam Theater, Hamilton Hall and Anderson Hall will be temporary for one month. The color-changing LED façade lighting at Terra Hall will be permanent. This public celebration of light is both an early kick-off to holiday festivities in Center City and a preview of more exciting lighting projects planned for South Broad Street in 2008 by the Center City District.
