I grew up in what I consider the greatest city in the world…New York City. There is nothing like celebrating the holidays in New York.  Before the Christmas tree lighting at Rockefeller Center or the extravagant holiday window displays at retail stores, the Macy’s Day Parade kicks everything off.

The Radio City Christmas Spectacular is an annual musical holiday stage show presented at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. The show features over 140 performers, lavish sets and costumes and an original musical score. The 90 minute revue combines singing, dancing and humor with traditional scenes in spectacular stage settings. The star performers are the women's precision dance troupe known as the Rockettes. Since the first version was presented in 1933, the show has become a New York Christmas tradition seen by more than a million visitors a year.

This event kicks off with a fun run at 8 a.m., and then the festival runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Includes all-day entertainment, a chili cook-off, vendors, artists, kiddy rides, games, food and fun for all.
