Chestnut Hill Conservancy's Night of Lights

- see all dates
Chestnut Hill Conservancy’s public art installation “Night of Lights” illuminates Germantown Avenue for ten days by using the commercial corridor as a canvas to highlight layers of area history.
This free outdoor event is open to all ages and features archival images projected through storefront windows. Guests can also expect interactive activities such as Community Storytellers available by phone, games, prizes, and printed Pastports to guide visitors through the exhibition.
Several shops stay open late, and restaurants feature historic food items on their menus. The opening night is on October 8 with a rain date of October 9. On opening night, guests can expect live storytelling, musicians, an oral history recording station, interpreters stationed at projection windows, and other special activities.
The evening begins with a “Flip the Switch” ceremony at 6:45 pm at the George Woodward Co. Offices located at 8031 Germantown Avenue.
