The annual Magical Lights program is back and lit, featuring a new interactive light and sound installation.
The lights were hung on the iconic London Plane trees along Broadway and 64th Street, and were turned on Tuesday night.
A new audio-reactive light installation complementing Dante's light show will twinkle, move to the rhythms of the city, and brighten up Richard Tucker Park (Broadway & 65th Street) and 36 trees in the Broadway Malls from 60th to 70th Street will illuminate Broadway's global corridor.
The holiday lighting also kicks off a holiday season of entertainment with the Department of Spectacle providing holiday-inspired circus acts, The SAINTS of SWING jazzing up the neighborhood and the Fabulous Fezziwigs performing holiday favorites throughout Lincoln Square.
Culminating the holidays is the third annual WinteRamble on December 18, an illuminated community procession of Frost Giant puppets and icicle lanterns led by Processional Arts Workshop to mark winter's arrival.
Tuesday's huge kickoff was hosted by Eyewitness News' Nina Pineda and Lee Goldberg.
