The 2010 Light Up Night in Pittsburgh was a one-of-a-kind grand celebration jammed packed full of events both new and old to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Light Up Night. From the much loved traditional tree lightings and holiday exhibits to several new events, the 2010 holiday season was kicked off in the most spectacular way. A record number of people attended the two day event, making it the biggest Light Up Night to date.
Wizard of Ah's has produced the Santa Spectacular show for 13 years! The past 3 years the show has found a home at Point State Park. Tens of thousands of people gathered near the entrance of the park to watch the start of the show which featured local dancers and singers along with a singing Santa Claus on a 40 foot wide stage. Near the end of the program the stage split down the middle, allowing the crowd to walk through the stage while the show was in progress and under a canopy of artificial snow – heading into the park towards the 80 foot tall Duquesne Light tree. Santa Claus capped off the evening's events by throwing his signature fireball at the Christmas tree to light it up and simultaneously kick off the choreographed firework show at the Point, shot this year from barges on the river.
