For the 80th year the majestic Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree will be hoisted up by crane to overlook the ice skating rink at Rockefeller Plaza. Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers and visitors will once again be enchanted by its beauty.
This year’s tree will have more than 30,000 multicolored energy efficient LED lights and will be topped with a Swarovski star.
The opening ceremony will be Wednesday, November 28 between 7 PM and 9 P M and will feature both live and taped holiday performances.
The tree will remain lit until 11 P M January 7, 2013.
Rockefeller Plaza is between West 48th Street and West 51st Street and between 5th Avenue and 6th Avenue.
Tip for Travelers: Come early to find a good viewing spot for the opening ceremony. It gets very crowded.
