The New York State Office of General Services (OGS) invites you to join in the fun at the annual SEFCU Holiday Tree Lighting and Fireworks Festival on Sunday, December 2nd, from 1 PM to 6 PM at the Empire State Plaza.
Each year, OGS receives hundreds of offers for tree donations and visits many with potential before choosing two perfect New York State trees. Each tree is decorated with over 2,000 energy-efficient light emitting diodes (LEDs) scheduled to be illuminated at this heartwarming family event.
The Plaza becomes a winter playground for the whole family with events taking place all day, inside and out!
