Love the Rockefeller tree lighting? We do too. It’s a New York City staple at Christmastime! Depending on how close you get, families can check out the ice-skating rink at Rockefeller Center, ooh and ahh over smaller twinkly lights in the surrounding streets and—of course—do some spectacular people watching. The celebration is free and open to the public, but be prepared: tens of thousands crowd the sidewalks for the event.

The tree lighting occurs Wednesday, December 2 with live performances from 7–9pm.

Where is the Rockefeller tree lighting?

How long is the Rockefeller Christmas Tree up?

The tree will remain lit and on view through January 6th, 2016 at 8pm.

What channel will be broadcasting the Rockefeller tree lighting?

NBC on Wednesday, December 2 from 7–9pm.
