N.Hernandez3 months ago
The Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center will be illuminated by more than 50,000 multicolored lights on Wednesday, kicking off a Midtown Manhattan holiday tradition that dates back to the 1930s . Crews have been hard at work decorating and preparing the tree — a 12-ton Norway spruce — since it arrived in Rockefeller Plaza on Nov. 11 after being transported nearly 200 miles from Vestal in upstate New York. On Wednesday evening, a 900-pound star adorned with three million Swarovski crystals will be illuminated, and approximately five miles of LED string lights will be switched on for the first time this season. The festivities will feature musical performances by Cher, Barry Manilow, Keke Palmer and others. Here’s what you should know. When is the Rockefeller Center tree lighting? The lighting ceremony will take place on Wednesday, Nov. 29 at 8 p.m. Eastern time. It will be broadcast live as part of the NBC special “Christmas at Rockefeller Center,” hosted by the singer and talk-show host Kelly Clarkson.
