Macy’s Grand Court Light Show at Philadelphia

Published on : Thursday, December 19, 2013

Wanamaker-Magic-Christmas-Tree-224x300A Philadelphia tradition since 1956, the Christmas Light Show at Macy’s in Center City is a must-see event. Come to the famous Center City store — housed in the historic Wanamaker Building — to watch snowflakes, ballerinas and reindeer float. The light show is presented in Macy’s Grand Court starting the day after Thanksgiving.

Get in the spirit with animated shop windows on Market Street and then step into the magic of the landmark Wanamaker Building. Illuminated with almost 100,000 LED lights and accompanied by music from the National Historic Landmark Wanamaker Pipe Organ, the Macy’s Grand Court Light Show inside the historic building delights both young and old with a four-story display of fanciful holiday images, open daily now through December 31st. Load into the elevator for a ride up to the third floor and take in the “Dickens Village,” a 6,000-square-foot tribute to “A Christmas Carol” with more than 100 fully animated figures.

Macy’s has been wowing crowds with their elaborate holiday window displays and celebrations since the early 1870s. The first store to feature holiday windows in the spirit of the holiday season, Macy’s continues this joyful tradition today. The Store’s famous light show has always been one of Philadelphia’s most hallowed traditions since its inception in November 1955
