The Seaport’s holiday tree lighting brings a festive neighborhood celebration to the historic cobblestone streets of Lower Manhattan.

What to expect

The Seaport’s annual tree lighting is a festive stop in Lower Manhattan, with the holiday tree set against the neighborhood’s historic waterfront surroundings.

Past celebrations have included seasonal activities, music and a visit from Santa. The accompanying program can change from year to year, with the lighting of the tree at the heart of the event.

Good to know

  • Combine the tree lighting with an evening walk through the Seaport and along the East River waterfront.
  • Dress warmly! The celebration takes place outdoors on the cobblestone streets.
