The second annual Night of Lights will bring thousands of residents and visitors to Chestnut Hill to experience this innovative public art exhibit as it transforms Chestnut Hill’s familiar commercial corridor into an interactive exhibit of local history and architecture.

For one night only, historical images and films from the Conservancy’s Archives will be projected through storefront windows and onto exterior walls, while neighboring buildings along Germantown Avenue will be illuminated with theatrical lights. The festive atmosphere will be enhanced with live music and interactive elements inviting visitors to share their own stories, learn about area histories, and make their own light art. In addition to our continued partnership with the Chestnut Hill Business District, this year, Night of Lights will be a featured participant in the citywide Design Philadelphia and Archives Month Philly marketing.
