Shine Bright at Hudson Yards Lights Up November 16 in New York: More Than Two Million Lights and a Free Vessel Lighting Ceremony
Shine Bright, the holiday light display at Hudson Yards in Manhattan, New York, opens on November 16 and runs through January 7, 2027. The organizer says more than two million lights will glow across the neighborhood, including 115 miles of string lights on the Vessel landmark, 725 evergreen trees, illuminated displays, eight 12-foot toy soldiers and a 32-foot hot air balloon inside The Shops.
The season kicks off with the annual Vessel Holiday Lighting Ceremony on November 16, free and open to the public, with doors at 5 p.m. and the show at 6 p.m. Performers include Grammy Award-winning artist Anthony Ramos, the New York Vocal Collective, Brooklyn United Drumline, Carnegie Hall Citywide and The New York Pops with Carolina Rial, hosted by radio host Helen Little.
After the ceremony, Vessel ticket holders can stay for a first look and a photo under an 18-foot mistletoe, from 7 to 9 p.m. on November 16 only, with tickets at $10. For the rest of the season, the Vessel hosts a daily light show that is free and open to the public.
Santa will take free photos with children, families and pets at The Shops every Monday to Friday from November 27 to December 23, from 5 to 8 p.m. Hudson Yards is at 20 Hudson Yards, New York.
