PHILLY SKYLINE SHINES!!
Philadelphia Celebrates JUNETEENTH 2022 Lighting Up Philadelphia!!
Hello Philly!! Are you ready! Philadelphia Skyline Shines for JUNETEENTH Launches on June 13th
Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection is making history once again!!
It's the 157th Anniversary of JUNETEENTH, and the Philadelphia Juneteenth Family is lighting up the skyline for the next seven nights, from June 13 through June 19, leading up to the most spectacular JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION EVER!!
So have your cameras ready as we gather to light up the City's skyline each evening at dusk around 8:30pm. Try to get as many photos of them as possible because they are scattered throughout Philadelphia on our most iconic buildings and landmarks - see the list below.
PHILLY SKYLINE SHINES is not only a beacon for Black People, but for people the world over who may have faced oppression and are now celebrating their own JUNETEENTH. Named in honor of the great exponent for Black autonomy and liberation, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, the Garvey Freedom Lights, is an inspiration to maintain that spark of unity, freedom, progress, and liberation he engendered in more than 12 million African Americans nearly 100 years ago, in 1923. It's a celebration of the progress we've made as a people and what we are doing moving forward.
Philadelphia has led the field in JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION on the East Coast for more than 30 years.
Below is a list of locales where you can see the Juneteenth Lights:
Boat House Row Independence Blue Cross
Ben Franklin Bridge North Broad Street
Airport Tower Parx Casino
Live! Casino FMC Tower
PECO Crown Lights Cira Centre
Rivers Casino Liberty Towers One & Two
Citizens Bank Park Pennsylvania Convention Center
Lincoln Financial Field Wells Fargo Center
The Ritz Carlton Hotel
While JUNETEENTH is a celebration about Black liberation, all are invited to participate and celebrate with us.
The best time to see PHILLY SKYLINES SHINE is dusk - around 8:30 PM.
