2014 Duquesne Light Santa Spectacular A family tradition since 1998, the Duquesne Light Santa Spectacular serves as a bright start to the holiday season. Thanks to Duquesne Light and CBS Radio Pittsburgh, the Point State Park event was as entertaining as it was illuminating. More than 20,000 people filled the park to see the show and explore the Wyndham Grand Winter Wonderland, which included the hot chocolate- and cookie-stocked Sheetz Warm Up Tent. Rohrich Automotive Group stunned with interactive ice carvings, and guests commemorated the evening in the 84 Lumber Holiday photo Shutterbooth. North Star Kids, East End Kids, Jeter Backyard Theater, Nick Marzock, and Mark Milovats took over the Santa Stage Show. Michele’s Dance Center eventually brought Santa to the stage for a performance before the lighting of the 80-foot Duquesne Light Tree on the river side of the point! Tudi Mechanical Systems’ musical fireworks finale capped off the spectacular show. “The Duquesne Light Santa Spectacular is a seasonal family tradition and a memorable kick-off to the holiday season,” says Michael Spacciapolli, vice president and director of sales for CBS Radio Pittsburgh. “We are privileged to host the event and have the opportunity to showcase local performers.” — I.M.
