Lights Up on Lincoln Square
- see all dates
Lincoln Square toasts the season with three holiday installations: The Big Apple, a Musical Tree, and Music Box by DIX, along with mid-week performances for families.
The Big Apple bench sculpture is designed to make visitors stop for a much-needed break or share a memorable moment with loved ones and friends.
The Music Box is a self-sustainable installation activated by human energy animating the northern tip of Dante Park. Crank the handle and sing along to some all-time festive classics karaoke-style.
At the southern portion of Dante Park, a musical tree livens up the holiday season. Take center stage, follow the notes, and play Jingle Bells for all to hear.
