The Empire State Building is lighting up like a giant Easter egg this weekend

The Empire State Building will glow pastel colors like a giant Easter egg this weekend.

On Saturday, April 3, from sundown to 2am, the building's spire will sparkle and glow assorted pastel colors. It will be a cute sight to behold this holiday weekend as cherry blossoms are blooming around the city and New Yorkers celebrate Easter.

Since 2012, the building has used a state-of-the-art LED lighting system, capable of displaying more than 16 million colors. It routinely displays combinations of colors to mark various occasions and holidays throughout the year. For Christmas, the tower teamed up with iHeartMedia for a light show with music (on Z100 and LiteFM) at 8pm, December 19-25.
