Crowds Say Goodbye to Wanamaker Light Show Before Hiatus
The Wanamaker Light Show in Philadelphia, a beloved holiday tradition since 1956, drew large crowds for its final viewing before a two-year hiatus due to building renovations. The show was saved this year through a $500,000 fundraising effort, but will pause during construction under new ownership, with plans for future development of the building still in preliminary stages. Many visitors expressed hope for its return or continuation elsewhere.
