Lincoln Square Magical Lights
Lincoln Square shines brighter than ever this holiday season as the Lincoln Square Business Improvement District (BID) unveils its Magical Lights program, a festive celebration of light and sound. The expanded 2024 holiday programming transforms the neighborhood into a vibrant wonderland with interactive light displays, enchanting sound installations, and beloved traditions.
The evening kicks off with holiday-inspired circus acts, including stilt walkers, jugglers, and the whimsical Princess Schneeflocken, and Kaufman Music Center's Special Music School Chorus performs.
Expanded Features for 2024 Magical Lights include:
Singing Trees in Dante Park: The iconic London Plane trees in Dante Park (Broadway & 64th Street) will feature a new sound installation, added to its audio-reactive lights, that will make the trees sing as the lights dance along in sync with festive holiday music.
Interactive Lights expanding to Richard Tucker Park: A new audio-reactive light installation complementing Dante's light show will twinkle, move to the rhythms of the city, and brighten up Richard Tucker Park (Broadway & 65th Street).
Illuminated Broadway Malls: This year, 36 trees in the Broadway Malls from 60th to 70th Street will illuminate Broadway's global corridor.
