At Bryant Park’s tree lighting, the ice rink becomes part of the show.
What to expect
There’s more to this evening than watching the lights come on. The annual celebration combines figure-skating performances and music with the lighting of the Christmas tree. So if you’re coming for the ceremony, plan to watch the show, too.
The performers change from year to year. The program for 2026 has not yet been announced.
Good to know
- Watching is free, but viewing space is limited.
- Wear warm layers for standing outside.
