Cleveland

Downtown Cleveland. Giant chandelier
Cleveland's Playhouse Square is the second-largest performing arts complex in the US after Lincoln Center in New York. The entertainment district is anchored by the Playhouse Square chandelier, which is the largest outdoor chandelier in the world, made with 4,200 crystals.
The largest outdoor chandelier measures 6.10 m (20 ft) from top to bottom and has a diameter of 5.18 m (17 ft) achieved by PlayhouseSquare (USA) and permanently displayed at the intersection of East 14th Street and Euclid Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio, USA, as of 30 April 2014. The total weight of the chandelier is 2,721.55 kg (6,000 lb) and is held up by a stainless steel support structure that contains three arms and is painted with a 3-stage automotive paint finish. The 4,200 crystals used to make the chandelier were constructed of impact modified acrylic (PMMA) and the 68 LED lighting fixtures used to illuminate the chandelier. #OnTheRoad
The World's Largest Outdoor Chandelier exists in the historic Playhouse Square Theater district is 20 ft. tall with 4,200 crystals, hanging 44 ft. above the street.
Playhouse Square in Cleveland, Ohio. We love our giant chandelier and our gorgeous theater district. There are 9 indoor Theaters and one outdoor plaza in the area. The Palace Theater is my personal favorite of course- sorry I'm basic. Eat at Cowell and Hubbard if you are dining before a show. They will make SURE you are on time for your curtain. This was around a year ago during a police violence protest, hence all those people laying in the street below. #theater #cleveland
