The Midtown illumination is incredibly popular in the days leading up to Christmas (especially the 24th) with couples bringing a compulsory bottle of champers with them. If you want to avoid potential crowds, you should go early.
What happens?
Every year, something new is added or changed to the program. In 2024, there will be a new art installation that includes falling snow and soap bubbles, along with colorful lights. The regular foliage will be lit up as usual and the much-loved Christmas tree will be back. The area will be expanded, so expect to see around 560,000 lights.
Inside the shopping center, find a small Christmas fair and a tree made up of around 1,600 mini-Santas. Next door, take your chance on the ice with the Midtown Ice Rink.
