A fire broke out at Bank of America Winter Village at Bryant Park on Friday, December 27th at 9am.
At the time of publication, it is unclear which booth caught on fire, or how it began, but the outbreak appears to affect the attraction’s food vendors. This news comes on the heels of the Herald Square holiday market fire that broke out on December 16th, just 10 days after the debut location’s opening.
A statement on the park’s Instagram Stories on Friday at 11:40 a.m. read, “We are grateful for the FDNY’S quick response to the incident that occurred earlier today. The Rink and The Lodge are currently open. Most of the Holiday Shops have reopened, and we expect all the Holiday Shops that were not affected by the fire to reopen later today.”
The holiday shops in Bryant Park are expected to close on January 5th, 2025.
