What I wrote thereFold it away

LED-embedded lanterns take over Brookfield Place’s atrium as part of a unique art installation called Luminaries. The breathtaking display features 650 color-changing lanterns that create one of the most mesmerizing Christmas light shows in New York City.

The best part? It’s an interactive experience that encourages kids to make a wish at a designated wishing station. When a child releases their wish the lanterns respond with a dynamic display of colors. Better still, Arts Brookfield makes a donation to charity for every wish made.
