The 16th Annual Winter’s Eve at Lincoln Square took place on Monday, November 30, and from all the reports we received, this year’s celebration was one of the best! Though the lighting of our 27ft Concolor Fir was slightly delayed due to a technical glitch, the loyal crowds cheered when we finally illuminated our Holiday Tree. Thanks to The Chapin Family including Tom Chapin, The Steve Chapin Band, The Chapin Sisters, and Jen Chapin, Tony Award®-winner Laura Benanti, and of course WABC-TV and Sade Baderinwa for handling everything perfectly! The weather brought out a record number of people and our parks and sidewalks were nearly overflowing with excited patrons enjoying the night’s festivities.
This year, over 200 musicians, dancers, and buskers entertained Winter’s Eve attendees at more than 20 performance venues throughout the festival. Plus a record 36 restaurants offered culinary masterpieces at our popular outdoor food tastings.
