Wanamaker Light Show returns to continue Philadelphia holiday tradition after year of uncertainty

The Wanamaker Light Show is back open for the public inside the historic Wanamaker Building, beginning Friday.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — A Philadelphia holiday tradition is set to return Friday, following a year of uncertainty.

The Wanamaker Light Show is back open for the public inside the historic Wanamaker Building.

The show’s return is thanks to a campaign to save the Philadelphia tradition after Macy’s closed and new ownership raised questions about its future.
