A new immersive light installation is on display through the end of January,  featuring eight giant London Plane trees dripping with hundreds of strands of hanging light vines that react to and are influenced by the public - twinkling to the rhythm of Lincoln Square’s beat and NYC’s soundscape. Visitors to the park can participate in pop-up sing-alongs as well.

The full lineup of LS BID holiday offerings include:
