Lights From Lincoln Center
This holiday season, we’re lighting our campus for our friends and neighbors to enjoy, offering a space for reflection and hope for the New Year. The organizations at Lincoln Center have also curated seasonally-inspired playlists for you. Listen to these uplifting tunes on your device while exploring our outdoor spaces or let them fill your home with music.
Our campus is illuminated with a breathtaking new light installation, including warm and cool displays of color, floating lanterns, and lights adorning the trees. The installations become viewable around dusk and through the night, and they will be on display through January 18, 2021. Additionally, a vibrant new pair of murals will be on view along Amsterdam Avenue. The joyful pieces serve as a reminder of the vitality that defines the city.
Visit our festive outdoor spaces in person, revel in them from afar on an evening walk, or enjoy them virtually from the comfort of your homes. We are open to the public 9:00 am to 7:00 pm ET. The lights will remain on through the night and can be viewed from the sidewalk. Enjoy and please remember to maintain social distance and wear a face covering when on campus.
