Watch Fulton Park's 22-ft. Tree Light Up With Holiday Cheer Friday

BED-STUY, NY — You're not going to want to miss Fulton Park's 17th annual tree lighting this Friday night.

At 5 p.m., Bed-Stuy residents will gather at Bedford-Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation's West Plaza, where the neighborhood's Business Improvement District will host its fourth annual free holiday celebration. There will be music from R&B group Good Girl and jazz vocalist Brenda Rudzinski. And, of course, Santa Claus will be there to take photos with your children, and he'll have some free gifts as well for kids 14 and under. You can register here!

At 7 p.m., everyone will head to Fulton Park to watch the 22-ft. tree light up with holiday cheer. Students from the Brooklyn Waldorf School, a dance group from the Dwana Smallwood Performing Arts Center, and a local string ensemble are slated to perform during the lighting.

Stuyvesant Heights Parents Association is looking for a few volunteers to help decorate St. Phillip's Church down the street on Decatur Street beginning at 1 p.m. If you are interested in volunteering, here's their Facebook page.
