The Philadelphia Zoo is thanking frontline workers in a big, blue way.
The Philadelphia landmark recently lit up its Main Plaza with dazzling blue lights to thank healthcare workers and first responders. The new light display on the trees and front entrance buildings at 34th and Girard are illuminated with the goal of ringing in the holidays while also thanking healthcare workers and first responders during the global pandemic. By lighting up the front plaza in blue, the Zoo is extending its wishes for a peaceful holiday and its appreciation for the thousands of citizens throughout the greater Philadelphia region for their kindness, dedication, and courage during an exceptionally challenging year.
“It has been a difficult time for so many, with people across the region and across the world being so deeply affected,” says Vikram H. Dewan, Philadelphia Zoo’s President and CEO.
