Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting: November 30, 2011

Posted in: Holiday, Upcoming Events

The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree will be lit for the first time on Wednesday, November 30th, 2011 with live and taped performances from 7-9pm at Rockefeller Plaza, between West 48th & West 51st Streets and 5th and 6th Avenues, Manhattan. The tree, traditionally a Norway Spruce, is illuminated by 30,000 environmentally friendly LED lights on five miles of wire, and crowned by a Swarovski crystal star. Tens of thousands crowd the sidewalks for the event and hundreds of millions watch the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony broadcast live across the globe.
