Harlemites and visitors celebrated the season with the New York State Harlem Tree Lighting and celebration last week. This free, family-friendly event included live performances by poet and storyteller Daniel Carlton, Uptown Dance Academy, and Sing Harlem. There were also opportunities to meet Santa, giveaways, train rides, caroling, and more.
The public was invited to bring their family and friends to this free event, organized by the New York State Office of General Services in collaboration with promoter Greg Mays of Harlem Presents. “Every holiday season, the Empire State Plaza becomes a winter wonderland full of fun events and activities for everyone to enjoy. The Office of General Services is proud to host New York State’s annual Winter at the Plaza series, which brings family, friends, and neighbors together to celebrate,” said Commissioner Moy. “We are delighted to continue the tradition of New York State’s Tree Lightings at The Empire State Plaza in Albany and the Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. State Office Building Plaza in Harlem. I want to thank all the generous sponsors who work with us to make this season special.”
Sponsors included WBLS 107.5 FM, Harlem Presents, Pollo Campero, Touro College, Starbucks, Harlem Community Development Corporation, The Greater Harlem Chamber of Commerce and the New York State Department of Health.
