The Dark Christmas Tour (Lower Manhattan)

Discover the forgotten winter of old New York on The Dark Christmas Tour with Purefinder New York. This 90-minute walking tour explores how faith, folklore, and social change shaped the city’s idea of Christmas, from colonial rituals to the creation of Santa Claus and beyond.

Walk through Lower Manhattan’s oldest streets and churchyards to see how centuries of faith, power, and change shaped the city’s idea of Christmas. This tour offers an evocative look at how New York’s holiday spirit was born in unexpected places.

The Dark Christmas Tour runs on weekends until December 28. Advance booking is encouraged, as space is limited.
