PHILADELPHIA, PA (October 24, 2023) — Nothing shines like American Heritage Credit Union (American Heritage) throughout the holiday season. American Heritage invites the community to visit its main campus at 2060 Red Lion Road in Northeast Philadelphia to enjoy more than 400,000 lights and holiday displays.
Each year, the American Heritage campus buildings and trees are illuminated, and multiple light displays are featured throughout the campus grounds. Community members are welcome to stroll the campus, take photos and enjoy the sights and sounds of the holiday season. The Grand Illumination celebration kicks off with a special event on the evening of November 25th at 7:00 PM.
Grand Illumination Kick-Off Event
The free 16th annual Grand Illumination event supports the Kids-N-Hope Foundation and will be held on Saturday, November 25, 2023, at 7:00 PM. Attendees can enjoy the sounds of the holiday season with a concert featuring the Philadelphia Boys Choir, the Ukrainian Children’s Choir Soloveiky, and the New Jersey Fifes and Drums. Ben Franklin and Betsy Ross will be on hand to lend a colonial flavor to the evening’s events. Immediately following the illumination, a firework symphony will fill the night sky.
At the event, the Kids-N-Hope Foundation will present its annual donation to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. In the spirit of giving, attendees are encouraged to bring a canned food item to help American Heritage reach its goal of 20,000 pounds for its annual holiday food drive.
