"It is a time-honored tradition here at parks to light our green spaces and buildings up for the holidays—a tradition we derive great pride from and one that we are committed to continuing even in these most unprecedented times," NYC Parks Commissioner Mitchell J. Silver said in a statement. "We know that throughout this challenging year, people have looked to our parks for refuge and recreation, and we want to continue inspiring joy by spreading holiday cheer. We hope that our lights can help illuminate the hearts of all New Yorkers as we celebrate the holidays and what they mean to us all."
