The free Holiday Light Show at Macy’s in Center City is an indispensable element of celebrating the holidays in Philadelphia, and has been since 1956.
This year’s show, which began November 25 and runs through December 31, is particularly poignant in that the the National Historic Landmark Wanamaker Building in which the store is housed celebrates its 100th anniversary this December!
The Macy’s Holiday Light Show illuminates the store with almost 100,000 LED lights, accompanied by festive music from the world-renowned Wanamaker Grand Organ and narration by Julie Andrews. The shows run at the top of each hour starting at 10 a.m.
Get your holiday shopping done at one of Philadelphia’s most popular one-stop-shop stores while enjoying one of the city’s most treasured traditions.
