City Christmas lights |
As the spirit of Christmas dawns this year, take a look at the season’s most coveted light displays and their varieties that bring home the essence of Advent and the goal of all festivities with Christmas Carnivals City Christmas Lights that herald the moment of good cheer and mirth into your life.
A chorus of holiday songs is sung to usher in the annual tree-lighting ceremony before the Garden Conservatory at the Botanical Gardens, New York. The 25-foot conifer will be on display until January 8th. Trolleys and trains run across the galleries of the conservatory - over bridges and under tunnels – through meticulous recreations of famous city scenes made entirely out of nature’s flora. Famous landmarks like the Apollo Theater, the Brooklyn Bridge, and St. Patrick's Cathedral (and this year’s additions – the original Yankee Stadium and five historic Hudson Valley mansions) have been incredibly crafted from berries, mushrooms, pinecones, and twigs. The Neapolitan Baroque Crèche at the Met decks up in glimmering light which warms the dreary Medieval Hall with a 20-feet blue spruce (which is an artificial construct) lit by colorful electric candles and decorated with Napoleonic angels and cherubs, with a crèche Nativity scene. The lighting ceremonies resume every Friday and Saturday at 7p.m. The lights remain on view from November 22-January 8.
Origami Tree at the American Museum of Natural History is themed after “flight” and features hundreds of paper creations of winged birds and insects. At the lighting in Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Hall, holiday music will be provided by the Evergreen Holiday Choir. The “Holiday Dinos”, two 19-foot steel Barosaurs strung with colorful Christmas lights, are worth a visit, pennywise. There are other light displays such as the Chorus Tree at South Street Seaport and the Rockefeller Center Lighting Ceremony. Find them out at Christmas Carnivals City Christmas Lights.
