Santa Skydived Into Philly to Announce That Tinseltown Will be Taking Place in FDR Park This Christmas
One of Philly’s most popular holiday attractions is making its return this Christmas season and to make this special announcement, Santa himself skydived into Philly.
“Tinseltown Holiday Spectacular presented by Dietz & Watson,” will be returning to South Philadelphia when it opens its doors in FDR Park on November 17th and will feature more than 1.2 million light bulbs.
Visitors of all ages will feel the magic of the holiday season as they stroll through an array of lights, check off their holiday shopping list, dine on festive treats and beverages, meet Santa Claus, and much more. Along with the new location, Tinseltown will feature brand-new experiences with details to be released in the coming months. Tinseltown will run from November 17 through January.
“We are thrilled to be working with FDR Park to bring the magic of Tinseltown to South Philly this holiday season,”
said Todd Glickman, Chief Revenue Officer, Comcast Spectacor. “With its spectacular light displays, special holiday experiences, festive treats and more, visitors to Tinseltown are sure to walk away with priceless memories and a new holiday tradition. Bringing this signature event to FDR Park is also particularly exciting as we continue working with our neighbors and partners to revitalize South Philly.”
“The City of Philadelphia is thrilled to welcome Tinseltown to the City, and in doing so spread the magic of the holiday season down Broad Street to FDR Park,” said Sheila Hess, City Representative. “As a lifelong South Philadelphian and frequent visitor to “The Lakes”, I am excited to see Tinseltown attract visitors from all over the region to enjoy the light spectacular planned for FDR Park this holiday season.”
“As one of our city’s most diverse, culturally vibrant public spaces, FDR Park is the perfect place to make memories and gather with loved ones,”
said Orlando Rendon, Interim Commissioner, Philadelphia Parks & Recreation. “We are excited to experience the holiday magic of Tinseltown at The Lakes this winter, and to welcome first time visitors to Philadelphia’s only-Olmsted designed park.”
As guests stroll the brand-new layout of this illuminated wonderland in the park, they will find larger-than-life sculptures, including a 60-ft light tunnel, glowing baubles, and, of course, Santa’s sleigh. Tinseltown will also showcase some of Philadelphia’s most beloved landmarks and personalities in
lights – along the way, you’ll find a massive, walk-through Liberty Bell, illuminations representing Philly sports teams, and more.
