The live-streaming screen was installed in the park in October 2024, connecting Philadelphians with numerous countries across the world, including: Dublin, Ireland, Vilnius, Lithuania and Lublin, Poland. Tourists and locals alike flocked to the park to say hello to people across the Atlantic.
Joseph Callahan, director of Portals Organization, spoke to the synergy between nations with the addition of the portal in Philadelphia.
“The love, the peace and the joy of recognizing we are all one and we are all the same,” Callahan said once the device went live.
In November, the portal was relocated to a different area of LOVE Park to make room for the Christmas Village market.
If you visit the portal, it is currently wrapped up in a blue tarp with a message that reads:
“We apologize for our appearance, as the Portal in Love Park is temporarily down for repairs. We’re working to have it back up and running as soon as possible, so stay tuned for updates. Much Love!”
Sources reveal that the Portal has been offline for several weeks after recent maintenance and upgrades, is due to come back on this month.
Callahan released this statement about the return of the Philadelphia Portal:
“The Philadelphia Portal is currently offline while our team performs routine maintenance and upgrades. We are excited to share that with the support of The Bean Foundation and World JAM Productions, the Philadelphia Portal is scheduled to be back online in early March, with several St. Patrick’s Day celebrations planned. We’re thrilled to be able to continue bringing people together across the globe through the Portal.”
So far, no comment on the alleged theft has been made by Portals Inc.
