Brookfield Place New York

Winter Garden

230 Vesey St (Bet. West St & N End Ave)

New York, NY 10821

Please note that on Sunday, January 10, Luminaries will be closing at 6PM.

Luminaries is a re-imagined holiday tradition—a spectacular lighting display that follows the glass enclosed topography of the Winter Garden at Brookfield Place. Inspired by the season’s traditions of sharing, community and connection, visitors are immersed in a glowing canopy of 650 lanterns, embedded with LEDs, each capable of changing color and intensity.

The interactive installation is transformed into a unique light display every time a participant touches a special wishing station positioned within the iconic palm trees of the Winter Garden. The interactive and collective act of wishing creates a communal and celebratory tradition. For every wish made this holiday season, Arts Brookfield will donate $1 up to $25,000 to the GRAMMY Foundation® to support its GRAMMY in the Schools® music education programs for high school students.

Spectacular light shows are scheduled every half hour beginning at 8 AM and ending at 10 PM daily. Five shows celebrate the season: Snowfall, Christmas Tree, Ribbons, Firecracker, andNorthern Lights.

Current wish count: 74,451!
