Where To Find Holiday Lighting Displays In Brooklyn

BROOKLYN, NY — The NYC Department of Parks & Recreation is celebrating the holiday season by lighting up the five boroughs with special seasonal displays at 80 sites across New York City, including more than 20 throughout Brooklyn.

Holiday set-ups at Herbert Von King Park, Brewer Hill Park, Grand Army Plaza and more mean that Brooklynites looking to avoid the crowds at Rockefeller Center have ample options for safe holiday outings close to home.

"We know that throughout this challenging year, people have looked to our parks for refuge and recreation, and we want to continue inspiring joy by spreading holiday cheer," NYC Parks Commissioner Mitchell J. Silver said in a statement. "We hope that our lights can help illuminate the hearts of all New Yorkers as we celebrate the holidays and what they mean to us all."

The park lightings join several other holiday attractions spread throughout the borough this month, including a "Winter Wonderland" holiday village in Bed-Stuy, a holiday market in Downtown Brooklyn and the borough's largest menorah near Grand Army Plaza.
