Parker 3D in Scotch Plains Lights Up Atlantic City For The Holidays

Atlantic City has come back from Hurricane Sandy by putting the holiday spirit in view. In multiple venues throughout Atlantic City, the city is inviting the public to come and celebrate the season in its largest holiday push in decades.


The following information was provided by the New Jersey Casino Reinvestment Development Authority.

At the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and Christopher Columbus is a 200' wide by 12' tall call to "Let it Snow" made of 3 tons of foliage and lights utilizing over 75,000 energy efficient LED lights.

At historic O'Donnell Park, 76 permanent trees have been lit in sparkling LED lights to create a winter wonderland effect. Nine trees become a light show that plays classic holiday music and synchronizes the lights every 15 minutes using a programmer made famous on YouTube and the Today Show.
