After 20 years of Winter’s Eve at Lincoln Square, the Lincoln Square BID is pleased to share that we are planning a new and different holiday celebration by offering the community and visitors a month-long series of smaller pop-up family friendly performances and activations for everyone to enjoy.
Although we are bringing back a holiday tree at Dante Park, a large tree lighting celebration will remain on pause. We are excited to announce that the successful Tumbling Brights–our whimsical illuminated sculptures launched during our darker days of COVID-19 last year–will return with five additional installations in the heart of our district. More details on activations, which includes our neighborhood holiday lighting program and other surprises, will be announced in the near future so the community and visitors will be able to celebrate the holidays and support local businesses, restaurants and cultural institutions in the Lincoln Square neighborhood throughout the entire holiday season.
***
The holidays are here and the Lincoln Square BID is celebrating the neighborhood's comeback with the return of the Lincoln Square Holiday Tree; an expansion of Tumbling Brights; and a month-long series of pop-up, family-friendly performances. The festivities will begin tonight, Monday, December 6, rain or shine, when we officially light our Holiday Tree at Dante Park with Frank London and the Klezmer Brass Allstars!
We're also highlighting special holiday programming and deals around the neighborhood this month, so if you're a Lincoln Square BID business or cultural organization with a holiday offer, menu, gift guide, or other seasonal special, let us know what you're doing and we will promote it on our website, on social media and in our weekly eblast so that locals and visitors will know what's happening in Lincoln Square!
Don't miss Lincoln Square's lights, delights, and more throughout December! Click here:
The Lincoln Square Holiday Tree is lit Come see it at Dante Park (Broadway & 64th St) throughout the holiday season and don’t miss our pop up performances on Wednesdays in December right in front of the tree. Link in bio for more information on Holidays in Lincoln Square.

After 20 years of Winter’s Eve at Lincoln Square, the Lincoln Square BID is pleased to share that we are planning a new and different holiday celebration by offering the community and visitors a month-long series of smaller pop-up family friendly performances and activations for everyone to enjoy.
Although we are bringing back a holiday tree at Dante Park, a large tree lighting celebration will remain on pause. We are excited to announce that the successful Tumbling Brights–our whimsical illuminated sculptures launched during our darker days of COVID-19 last year–will return with five additional installations in the heart of our district. More details on activations, which includes our neighborhood holiday lighting program and other surprises, will be announced in the near future so the community and visitors will be able to celebrate the holidays and support local businesses, restaurants and cultural institutions in the Lincoln Square neighborhood throughout the entire holiday season.
***
The holidays are here and the Lincoln Square BID is celebrating the neighborhood's comeback with the return of the Lincoln Square Holiday Tree; an expansion of Tumbling Brights; and a month-long series of pop-up, family-friendly performances. The festivities will begin tonight, Monday, December 6, rain or shine, when we officially light our Holiday Tree at Dante Park with Frank London and the Klezmer Brass Allstars!
We're also highlighting special holiday programming and deals around the neighborhood this month, so if you're a Lincoln Square BID business or cultural organization with a holiday offer, menu, gift guide, or other seasonal special, let us know what you're doing and we will promote it on our website, on social media and in our weekly eblast so that locals and visitors will know what's happening in Lincoln Square!
Don't miss Lincoln Square's lights, delights, and more throughout December! Click here:
The Lincoln Square Holiday Tree is lit Come see it at Dante Park (Broadway & 64th St) throughout the holiday season and don’t miss our pop up performances on Wednesdays in December right in front of the tree. Link in bio for more information on Holidays in Lincoln Square.

After 20 years of Winter’s Eve at Lincoln Square, the Lincoln Square BID is pleased to share that we are planning a new and different holiday celebration by offering the community and visitors a month-long series of smaller pop-up family friendly performances and activations for everyone to enjoy.
Although we are bringing back a holiday tree at Dante Park, a large tree lighting celebration will remain on pause. We are excited to announce that the successful Tumbling Brights–our whimsical illuminated sculptures launched during our darker days of COVID-19 last year–will return with five additional installations in the heart of our district. More details on activations, which includes our neighborhood holiday lighting program and other surprises, will be announced in the near future so the community and visitors will be able to celebrate the holidays and support local businesses, restaurants and cultural institutions in the Lincoln Square neighborhood throughout the entire holiday season.
***
The holidays are here and the Lincoln Square BID is celebrating the neighborhood's comeback with the return of the Lincoln Square Holiday Tree; an expansion of Tumbling Brights; and a month-long series of pop-up, family-friendly performances. The festivities will begin tonight, Monday, December 6, rain or shine, when we officially light our Holiday Tree at Dante Park with Frank London and the Klezmer Brass Allstars!
We're also highlighting special holiday programming and deals around the neighborhood this month, so if you're a Lincoln Square BID business or cultural organization with a holiday offer, menu, gift guide, or other seasonal special, let us know what you're doing and we will promote it on our website, on social media and in our weekly eblast so that locals and visitors will know what's happening in Lincoln Square!
Don't miss Lincoln Square's lights, delights, and more throughout December! Click here:
The Lincoln Square Holiday Tree is lit Come see it at Dante Park (Broadway & 64th St) throughout the holiday season and don’t miss our pop up performances on Wednesdays in December right in front of the tree. Link in bio for more information on Holidays in Lincoln Square.

After 20 years of Winter’s Eve at Lincoln Square, the Lincoln Square BID is pleased to share that we are planning a new and different holiday celebration by offering the community and visitors a month-long series of smaller pop-up family friendly performances and activations for everyone to enjoy.
Although we are bringing back a holiday tree at Dante Park, a large tree lighting celebration will remain on pause. We are excited to announce that the successful Tumbling Brights–our whimsical illuminated sculptures launched during our darker days of COVID-19 last year–will return with five additional installations in the heart of our district. More details on activations, which includes our neighborhood holiday lighting program and other surprises, will be announced in the near future so the community and visitors will be able to celebrate the holidays and support local businesses, restaurants and cultural institutions in the Lincoln Square neighborhood throughout the entire holiday season.
***
The holidays are here and the Lincoln Square BID is celebrating the neighborhood's comeback with the return of the Lincoln Square Holiday Tree; an expansion of Tumbling Brights; and a month-long series of pop-up, family-friendly performances. The festivities will begin tonight, Monday, December 6, rain or shine, when we officially light our Holiday Tree at Dante Park with Frank London and the Klezmer Brass Allstars!
We're also highlighting special holiday programming and deals around the neighborhood this month, so if you're a Lincoln Square BID business or cultural organization with a holiday offer, menu, gift guide, or other seasonal special, let us know what you're doing and we will promote it on our website, on social media and in our weekly eblast so that locals and visitors will know what's happening in Lincoln Square!
Don't miss Lincoln Square's lights, delights, and more throughout December! Click here:
The Lincoln Square Holiday Tree is lit Come see it at Dante Park (Broadway & 64th St) throughout the holiday season and don’t miss our pop up performances on Wednesdays in December right in front of the tree. Link in bio for more information on Holidays in Lincoln Square.

After 20 years of Winter’s Eve at Lincoln Square, the Lincoln Square BID is pleased to share that we are planning a new and different holiday celebration by offering the community and visitors a month-long series of smaller pop-up family friendly performances and activations for everyone to enjoy.
Although we are bringing back a holiday tree at Dante Park, a large tree lighting celebration will remain on pause. We are excited to announce that the successful Tumbling Brights–our whimsical illuminated sculptures launched during our darker days of COVID-19 last year–will return with five additional installations in the heart of our district. More details on activations, which includes our neighborhood holiday lighting program and other surprises, will be announced in the near future so the community and visitors will be able to celebrate the holidays and support local businesses, restaurants and cultural institutions in the Lincoln Square neighborhood throughout the entire holiday season.
***
The holidays are here and the Lincoln Square BID is celebrating the neighborhood's comeback with the return of the Lincoln Square Holiday Tree; an expansion of Tumbling Brights; and a month-long series of pop-up, family-friendly performances. The festivities will begin tonight, Monday, December 6, rain or shine, when we officially light our Holiday Tree at Dante Park with Frank London and the Klezmer Brass Allstars!
We're also highlighting special holiday programming and deals around the neighborhood this month, so if you're a Lincoln Square BID business or cultural organization with a holiday offer, menu, gift guide, or other seasonal special, let us know what you're doing and we will promote it on our website, on social media and in our weekly eblast so that locals and visitors will know what's happening in Lincoln Square!
Don't miss Lincoln Square's lights, delights, and more throughout December! Click here:
The Lincoln Square Holiday Tree is lit Come see it at Dante Park (Broadway & 64th St) throughout the holiday season and don’t miss our pop up performances on Wednesdays in December right in front of the tree. Link in bio for more information on Holidays in Lincoln Square.

After 20 years of Winter’s Eve at Lincoln Square, the Lincoln Square BID is pleased to share that we are planning a new and different holiday celebration by offering the community and visitors a month-long series of smaller pop-up family friendly performances and activations for everyone to enjoy.
Although we are bringing back a holiday tree at Dante Park, a large tree lighting celebration will remain on pause. We are excited to announce that the successful Tumbling Brights–our whimsical illuminated sculptures launched during our darker days of COVID-19 last year–will return with five additional installations in the heart of our district. More details on activations, which includes our neighborhood holiday lighting program and other surprises, will be announced in the near future so the community and visitors will be able to celebrate the holidays and support local businesses, restaurants and cultural institutions in the Lincoln Square neighborhood throughout the entire holiday season.
***
The holidays are here and the Lincoln Square BID is celebrating the neighborhood's comeback with the return of the Lincoln Square Holiday Tree; an expansion of Tumbling Brights; and a month-long series of pop-up, family-friendly performances. The festivities will begin tonight, Monday, December 6, rain or shine, when we officially light our Holiday Tree at Dante Park with Frank London and the Klezmer Brass Allstars!
We're also highlighting special holiday programming and deals around the neighborhood this month, so if you're a Lincoln Square BID business or cultural organization with a holiday offer, menu, gift guide, or other seasonal special, let us know what you're doing and we will promote it on our website, on social media and in our weekly eblast so that locals and visitors will know what's happening in Lincoln Square!

After 20 years of Winter’s Eve at Lincoln Square, the Lincoln Square BID is pleased to share that we are planning a new and different holiday celebration by offering the community and visitors a month-long series of smaller pop-up family friendly performances and activations for everyone to enjoy.
Although we are bringing back a holiday tree at Dante Park, a large tree lighting celebration will remain on pause. We are excited to announce that the successful Tumbling Brights–our whimsical illuminated sculptures launched during our darker days of COVID-19 last year–will return with five additional installations in the heart of our district. More details on activations, which includes our neighborhood holiday lighting program and other surprises, will be announced in the near future so the community and visitors will be able to celebrate the holidays and support local businesses, restaurants and cultural institutions in the Lincoln Square neighborhood throughout the entire holiday season.
***
The holidays are here and the Lincoln Square BID is celebrating the neighborhood's comeback with the return of the Lincoln Square Holiday Tree; an expansion of Tumbling Brights; and a month-long series of pop-up, family-friendly performances. The festivities will begin tonight, Monday, December 6, rain or shine, when we officially light our Holiday Tree at Dante Park with Frank London and the Klezmer Brass Allstars!
We're also highlighting special holiday programming and deals around the neighborhood this month, so if you're a Lincoln Square BID business or cultural organization with a holiday offer, menu, gift guide, or other seasonal special, let us know what you're doing and we will promote it on our website, on social media and in our weekly eblast so that locals and visitors will know what's happening in Lincoln Square!
Don't miss Lincoln Square's lights, delights, and more throughout December! Click here:
The Lincoln Square Holiday Tree is lit Come see it at Dante Park (Broadway & 64th St) throughout the holiday season and don’t miss our pop up performances on Wednesdays in December right in front of the tree. Link in bio for more information on Holidays in Lincoln Square.
