When the lights on Saks Fifth Avenue’s façade move in time with the music, the department store becomes the stage. You can watch this holiday show outside for free.
What to expect
This is a lovely reason to pause on a holiday walk along Fifth Avenue. Lights move across the Saks façade in time with the music, turning the department store into a festive backdrop. You watch from outside, so there’s no ticket to book or purchase to make in the store.
Leave a little time for the holiday windows, too. They’re part of the experience and worth a closer look. The designs and music can change from season to season, giving returning visitors something new to discover.
Good to know
- I’d allow a little waiting time so you can catch a show from the beginning. Check the current performance schedule before visiting.
- Dress warmly. Standing still can feel much colder than walking around.
- Don’t spend the whole show watching through your phone. Take a moment to enjoy the lights without filming, too.
