Holiday Lighting Extravaganza

Flushing's brand-new Sky View Center celebrates its official grand opening and the start of the holiday season in one festive shot this evening. After the twinkling snowflakes and stars are illuminated, families can enjoy performances by Big Apple Circus acts, the riotous Hey Ya Brothers and the Queens Symphony Orchestra, and perhaps do some early gift shopping at the 800,000-square-foot mega-mall, which houses Best Buy, BJ’s Wholesale Club, Marshalls, Target and Old Navy, among others. All ages.
