Rockefeller Center’s public tree-lighting began in 1931 and quickly became an annual civic tradition; department-store window displays rose to holiday prominence in the early 20th century.
Conservation
Crowds and light use strain public plazas during the season—stick to sidewalks, dispose of waste properly, and support local vendors to reduce single-use impact.
