Washington Square Park
Park · Greenwich Village
The 45-foot stunner is pleasantly framed inside the arch, ready for its close-up.
Washington Square Park is anchored by a grand marble arch commemorating the centennial of George Washington’s inauguration. The arch is a year-round draw, but during the holiday season it serves as nothing more than a backdrop for one of the most beloved Christmas trees in New York City.
The 45-foot stunner is pleasantly framed inside the arch, ready for its close-up. If crowds don’t deter you, visit during the tree lighting ceremony (typically the first week of December) or Christmas Eve to experience some good old-fashioned caroling.
