The Bank of America Winter Village's tree lighting is December 1

If you haven’t checked out the new vendors at this year's Bank of America Winter Village at Bryant Park, then what are you waiting for?! Better yet, stop by the park's 17,000-square foot ice rink before you shop on December 1 for the park’s annual holiday tree lighting ceremony.

This year, the village has big plans to make the event the best one yet. There will be a theatrical ice-skating show narrated by actor Danny Aiello starring Olympic skating champs Nancy Kerrigan, Brian Boitano, Johnny Weir, Meryl Davis and Charlie White. Plus, the Haydenettes! The show kicks off at 6pm followed by the tree lighting at 6:35pm, so make sure to get there early.

And don’t forget to support the local vendors while you're there—the event coincides with Giving Tuesday and World Aids Day, so Bank of America is contributing $.30 to RED’s fight against the disease for every purchase made that day.
