Luminaries at Brookfield Place through January 3rd!

 

The Luminaries at Brookfield Place have returned to Lower Manhattan. This mesmerizing installation and holiday tradition features a canopy of colorful lights emanating from hundreds of suspended lanterns. The luminaries are  inspired by the season’s traditions of sharing, giving, and community.

LIGHT SHOWS (8am-10pm):
Special light shows will be presented at the top of every hour, set to popular holiday songs by Michael Bublé, The Bird and The Bee, Tony Bennett, and featuring a new show featuring “Let it Snow” by Pentatonix!

HOLIDAY WISHES (10am-8pm)
The interactive exhibit includes three Wishing Stations located on the ground that will allow visitors to send a touch-activated wish to the canopy of lanterns above, activating a magical display of lights and colors. Brookfield Place will donate $1, up to $25,000, for every wish made during the holiday season to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer, a national non-profit that is committed to raising funds for research to develop new, improved and less toxic treatments for pediatric cancer. Visitors can also donate to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer here. The wishing experience follows the light show for approximately 55 minutes between 10am and 8pm.
