Many of the best NYC Parks and New York attractions host special lighting ceremonies–check out our full guide now! However, few are as exciting and magical as the affair hosted by the Bank of America Winter Village at Bryant Park—which just opened for the season on Friday, October 25th.
As one of the most popular holiday markets in NYC, the Winter Village has big plans to make their tree-lighting ceremony (held on Tuesday, December 3rd) a smash.
The lighting ceremony will consist of a dazzling theatrical ice-skating show to hit the stunning 17,000-square-foot rink and a surprise host yet to be revealed. Not to mention, we expect a grand display of fireworks if years past tell us anything!
Though more specific details on this year’s tree have yet to be released, we can’t wait to see it glittering in gorgeous lights.
Make sure to get there early to peruse more than 170 holiday shops and grab tasty treats from all the food vendors before the festivities.
Note: The in-person event is free and open to the public, but space is limited. Entry typically begins at 4p.m. on a first-come, first-served basis. For those who can’t attend the tree lighting ceremony, there’s normally a full livestream of the event to watch online.
