2. Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree
The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree is a large Christmas tree placed annually

in Rockefeller Center, in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. The tree is put in place in
mid-November and lit in a public ceremony on the Wednesday evening following
Thanksgiving. Since 1997, the lighting has been broadcast live, to hundreds of millions,
on NBC's Christmas in Rockefeller Center telecast.
The tree, usually a Norway spruce 69 to 100 feet (21 to 30 m) tall, has been a national
tradition each year since 1933.

4. The Village Halloween Parade
The Village Halloween Parade is an annual holiday parade on the night of

every Halloween, in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City. The parade,
initiated in 1974 by Greenwich Village puppeteer and mask maker Ralph Lee, is the
world's largest Halloween parade and the only major nighttime parade in the United
States.
The Village Halloween Parade has been called "New York's Carnival." The parade is
largely a spontaneous event as individual marchers can just show up in costume at the
starting point without registering or paying anything. The parade's signature features
include its large puppets, which are animated by hundreds of volunteers.

5. St. Patrick’s Day Parade New York City

The NYC St. Patrick’s Day Parade is one of New York City’s greatest traditions. The
first parade was on March 17, 1762 — fourteen years before the signing of the United
States Declaration of Independence. The first NYC St. Patrick’s Day Parade was
comprised of a band of homesick, Irish ex-patriots and Irish military members serving
with the British Army stationed in the colonies in New York. This was a time when the
wearing of green was a sign of Irish pride but was banned in Ireland. In that 1762 parade,
participants reveled in the freedom to speak Irish, wear green, sing Irish songs and play
the pipes to Irish tunes that were meaningful to the Irish immigrants of that time.
