Where In NJ To See Empire State Building Holiday Light Show

HOBOKEN, NJ — The lights on the Empire State Building will blink in special holiday patterns, synchronized with music on the radio, each night from this Saturday through Christmas Day as part of the building's annual Holiday Light Show. Reports have suggested one viewing area in New Jersey to watch it live in 2020 (as well as from New York City or via the internet).

Viewers can enjoy the show from the Hoboken Waterfront Walkway. They can also see it live via the Empire State Building earthcam (linked here).

The show will begin at 8 p.m. each night (see the calendar here).

To hear the music, you can simultaneously tune to iHeartRadio on Z100 or LiteFM (100.3 and 106.7).

World-renowned lighting artist Marc Brickman designed the light show. This year, it will feature music from Carrie Underwood and John Legend.

You can view a preview of the 2020 show here.

A video of the entire show will also be posted on the Empire State Building’s YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/esbnyc) immediately following its debut.
