Rotation of Red, Yellow, Green and Blue

U kunt een verlichtingsverzoek indienen via onze Tower Lighting Request-pagina. Houd er echter rekening mee dat het Empire State Building geen verlichting toekent voor persoonlijke evenementen (zoals verjaardagen, jubilea of bruiloften), commerciële evenementen, politieke campagnes, of religieuze figuren of evenementen.

Yes, the Empire State Building live cam that faces the tower shows the lights every night, including the signature hourly sparkle. The colors change for holidays, causes and milestones, and the Upcoming Light Colors strip at the top of this page shows which ones are scheduled next.

De torenlichten schijnen dagelijks van zonsondergang tot 2 uur 's morgens EST.

Het Empire State Building kiest de kleuren van de torenverlichting om feestdagen, evenementen, partnerschappen en speciale gelegenheden gedurende het jaar te vieren. Voor het volledige verlichtingsschema en de betekenis achter elke vertoning, bezoek alstublieft de Tower Lights pagina.

A color change on the Empire State Building marks a specific occasion. Our calendar lists the reason behind each color, so you can look up Empire State Building colors tonight or on any date going forward. Some are annual traditions, including Eid al-Fitr, Easter, Hanukkah, and Christmas. Others mark a single evening, whether an anniversary, a campaign to raise awareness, or a partner organization we support.

No, the Empire State Building does not have a special light show every night. The building hosts full music-to-light shows for special occasions, including its annual Holiday Music-to-Light show. The shows pair a custom lighting display with a soundtrack to mark holidays, album releases, anniversaries, and more. However, the tower is lit every evening, even without a special light show.

The Empire State Building's tower lights are set section by section rather than all at once. The tower has six of them: the antenna, the top fins, the middle, and the bottom. That's why a single lighting can carry several color combinations at once instead of just one. Lighting partners choose a color for each section when they apply.

The Empire State Building is lit red for a number of different occasions through the year, so red on any given night can mean more than one thing. The reason for that night's lighting is published with its date on our calendar.
