When they turn on the tree lights at Rockefeller Center, without a doubt, one of the most lucid moments in all New York.
The Christmas spirit in this city is reflected with 2 trees: One is that of the Rockefeller Center and the other is that of Bryant Park.
The Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center is the most famous in New York and hit Rockefeller Square in early November.
It is installed just above the prometheus statue next to the ice skating rink.
Like every year, this iconic New York City tree lights up in early December and that is why its lights have already been turned on. Precisely every December 2, one week after Thanksgiving.
It is understood that the date of Thanksgiving (Thanksgiving Day) every year is changing, so the date of power-on, too.
Unlike in other years, the important changes in the lighting of the Rockefeller Center tree is that It was done without an audience present.
Who broadcast it was the NBC network live and it can already be seen on in person as of December 3.
The most significant novelties are:
- Throughout the month of December, the tree area will be closed and the volume of visitors will be constantly controlled so that no crowds are generated.
- For those who want to go, they will have to scan a QR code -with the cell phone-, which they provide right there and then through a message they notify when they can enter.
- Once you are inside the tree enclosure, they only allow you to stay for a maximum of 5 minutes. From the official website of the site you can get more information.
For many years now, the ceremony has been known as Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting.
- Rockefeller Center employees first installed a Christmas tree in 1931 and from then on it became an annual tradition.
- The place is at Rockefeller Plaza which is located between 48th and 51st streets and 5th Avenue and 6th Avenue.
- The tree is lit every year from 6 a.m. to midnight and on Christmas day it is lit 24 hours a day.
- You can pass by and see the tree all decorated and illuminated until the first days of January 2021.
- When they take it away, they have a ritual: They turn it into wood and donate all their wood to a non-profit organization to build homes.
