29th Annual Central Park Holiday Lighting

Join us for the 2025 Halloween Harvest Festival, back with family-friendly workshops, a community resource fair, as well as New York’s second largest dog costume contest co-presented with Chateau le Woof.

Celebrate the season with the 29th Annual Holiday Lighting in Central Park! Meet Santa and friends, sing carols on the plaza, and warm up with hot cocoa while enjoying a variety of seasonal activities.

Celebrate the holiday season with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and Big Band Holidays, a can’t-miss tradition now in its 13th year in the House of Swing.
