Park Avenue Tree Lighting is December 2 at 6-6:30pm at Park Avenue @ 91st Street
The tradition of lighting trees on Park Avenue began seventy years ago when several Park Avenue families wanted a special way to honor those men and women who died in World War II. Today the illuminated trees – which appear on the Park Avenue Malls between 54th and 97th Streets – remain a symbol of peace and a reminder of the sacrifices made to attain it.
From 5-6pm, there is a social hou in Watson Hall with holiday crafts, hot cocoa, cookies and nibbles before the tree lighting ceremony- held at Brick Presbyterian Church.
