Pacific Park's Ferris wheel will light up the night for "International Women's Day"

Pacific Park's Ferris wheel will light up the night for "International Women's Day" with a stunning display of purple, green and white colors, patterns and transitions on Friday, March 8.

"International Women's Day" is a global celebration of the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. "International Women's Day" has occurred for well over a century, with the first observance in 1911, which was supported by over a million people. Today, the celebration belongs to all groups collectively everywhere. "International Women's Day" is not country, group or organization specific.

The special light program on the Ferris wheel features purple, green and white, the colors of International Women's Day that signify justice, dignity, and hope. The colors originate from the Women's Social and Political Union in the United Kingdom in 1908.
