Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting

The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree lighting ceremony takes place annually on the first Wednesday following Thanksgiving. Typically the last Wednesday of November or the first Wednesday of December and it will be celebrated on December 02, 2026. The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting is a cherished American tradition that marks the official start of the holiday festivities in the heart of New York City. With roots dating back to 1931, the event is deeply historical, evolving from a modest workers’ celebration into a nationally televised spectacle. Families across the United States gather to watch as thousands of lights illuminate the towering evergreen, accompanied by live performances and a spirit of unity. More than decoration, the tree stands as a radiant symbol of hope, tradition, and collective joy during the winter season.
