Night Lights on South Broad November 7, 2007

The Center City District will bathe building facades along the Avenue of the Arts with dazzling murals of light. 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. 7 and 8 p.m. A repeat of the “son et lumiere” lighting of Terra Hall to Beethoven’s 5th Symphony (1 min, 25 sec.) at Broad and Walnut.

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.)

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.
