Mad. Sq. Holiday History
For over 10 decades, the Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony in Madison Square Park has been a must-see attraction. It has a proud history of celebrating the holiday season—the first public Christmas tree in the United States was displayed in the Park on December 21, 1912. This historic tradition started as a way to allow all New Yorkers to enjoy the holiday spirit. And today, we are proud to continue that tradition.
