Free & Fun Things to Do this Weekend for NYC Kids: Christmas Tree Lightings, Holiday Festivals, Nostalgia Trains December 1-2
Submitted by Stephanie Ogozalek on
Santa is hearing wishlists, Christmas trees are lighting up, holiday windows are attracting crowds and Hanukkah is on the horizon. Looks like the holiday season is in full swing in NYC!
This weekend brings some of our favorite annual tree illuminations, including Staten Island's Historic Richmond Town and a fleet of floating trees on Central Park's Harlem Meer. Plus the MTA is running its cool Nostalgia Trains, the New York Public Library throws its Holiday Open House and the 92nd Street Y hosts an early Hanukkah Festival.
This week is your last chance to sign up for Mommy Poppins Holiday Portrait Hurricane Sandy Fundraiser this Sunday, a festive party, professional photo shoot and benefit all in one. Read on for details plus all of our weekend picks. You can find additional options in our Event Calendar and our Holiday Guide.
