Your Support Keeps Park Avenue Bright

Since 1945, the Park Avenue Tree Lighting has been one of New York City’s enduring holiday traditions. Established by Park Avenue families to honor the men and women who lost their lives during World War II, the annual display has grown into a moving tribute to all who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. From 54th to 97th Streets, a luminous corridor brings a shared sense of community to the Avenue while standing as a symbol of peace and the sacrifices made to secure it.

What began as an effort supported by a small group of families is now made possible through the generosity of donors to The Fund for Park Avenue. Their contributions help support this cherished New York tradition for generations to come.
