Fund for Park Avenue's Holiday Memorial Tree Lighting

for PaEach winter the trees on the Park Avenue malls are lit to honor the memory of those who died in our nation's wars. The tradition began in 1945 when Mrs. Stephen C. Clark lit the first trees as a memorial to the men and women who died in World War II. The lighting of the trees continues today because of the contributions The Fund receives from many generous donors. Each year the trees are lit on the first Sunday in December following a dedication ceremony, featuring carols, held outside the Brick Church on Park Avenue at 91st Street.

Trees will be lit along Park Avenue from 96th to 54th streets through mid-January.
