Kick off the season in New York style at the Seaport District Christmas Tree Lighting. Prior to the big moment, visitors can enjoy holiday crafts, coloring, live performances, and more.

Throughout the evening, lively performances resound from The Doo Wop Project, Dueling Pianos, and Brooklyn Drumline. Sip cozy drinks while you stroll, enjoy and family friendly activities presented by NewYork-Presbyterian, and don’t miss the sneak-preview of Gingerbread City!

The merrymaking culminates at 7pm with the lighting of the Seaport tree, followed by a magical meet-and-greet with Santa, where kids can share their holiday wish lists and parents can capture the moment.
