New York, NY (November 24, 2014) – Lower Manhattan's Zuccotti Park will welcome in the winter holidays with an evening ceremony that will feature live music, sweet treats, and the launch of a stunning light display that will illuminate a 25 ft. Christmas tree and colonnades of locust trees. Presented by Arts Brookfield, the December 3rd celebration will feature live performances by a quartet of musicians from Metropolitan Klezmer, a New York-based band that specializes in inspired original compositions and neo-traditional interpretations of the Yiddish repertoire and The Manhattan Dolls, a female vocal trio who will lead the audience through Christmas favorites like "Rock Around the Christmas Tree," "Santa Baby," and "Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer." Guests will also enjoy free holiday treats like apple cider donuts, candy canes, and chocolate gelt.

"Zuccotti Park sits at the heart of Lower Manhattan, making it a perfect place to bring the community together to kick off the winter holidays,” said Debra Simon, Vice President and Artistic Director of Arts Brookfield. "The effect of thousands of lights throughout the park's trees is magical, and we look forward each year to sharing the spirit of the winter holidays with our neighbors." The ceremony is part of a month-long festival of holiday celebrations that will include the return of Santa's Winter Garden to Brookfield Place on the weekend of December 5th – 7th, bringing free festivities and an opportunity for kids and adults to get their photos taken with Santa.
