Radio City Rockettes
In November 2026, the Radio City Rockettes lit the Empire State Building in partnership with Madison Square Garden in celebration of the opening night of The Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes. After the ceremony, the Radio City Rockettes toured the Observation Deck Experience and posed for photos on the building’s 86th Floor Observation Deck.
- To commemorate the occasion, the Empire State Building shined its world-famous tower lights in red and white with a Christmas tree swirling in the mast.
- The Radio City Rockettes have performed at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade since 1957, past presidential inaugurations, and the Super Bowl.
- The Radio City Rockettes debuted their signature annual holiday show in 1933, which famously features the "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers" routine.
