Nov 4-Jan 4The Rockettes Light the Empire State Building for the "Christmas Spectacular"
The Rockettes flipped the switch for the show's opening and toured the Observation Deck experience.
On Nov. 4, the Empire State Building lit its world-famous tower lights in red and white with a Christmas tree swirling in the mast to celebrate the opening of the "Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes."
The Empire State Building hosted a lighting ceremony with the world-famous Radio City Rockettes, who flipped the famous light switch.
After the ceremony, The Rockettes toured the Observation Deck Experience – which was named the #1 Top Attraction in the United States in Tripadvisor's 2026 Travelers' Choice Awards: Best of the Best Things to Do – and posed for photos on the building’s 86th Floor Observation Deck.
The Rockettes partnered with the Empire State Building Observation Deck once again to offer a special ticket bundle for guests to experience two iconic holiday traditions in one day – the world-famous Observation Deck and the "Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes."
