Many of the best NYC Parks and New York attractions host special lighting ceremonies–check out our full guide here! However, few are as exciting and magical as the affair hosted by the Bank of America Winter Village at Bryant Park.
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, November 28th) a smash.
In year’s past, the lighting ceremony consisted of a dazzling theatrical ice-skating show starring Olympic and World Champion skaters Mirai Nagasu, Polina Edmunds, Ryan Bradley, and Oona and Gage Brown–who all hit the stunning 17,000-square-foot rink. Not to mention, fireworks, Santa and many more surprises!
Though 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 180 holiday shops and grab tasty treats from all the food vendors before the festivities kick off at 6 p.m.
Note: The in-person event is free and open to the public, but space is limited. Entry will begin at 4p.m. on a first-come, first-served basis. For those who can’t attend the tree lighting ceremony, a full livestream of the event will also be available to watch here.
