WHAT IS HARLEM HOLIDAY LIGHTS?
Harlem Holiday Lights is a beloved tradition that brings the community together to celebrate the rich heritage and vibrant spirit of Harlem.
What began with modest street decorations has grown into a spectacular one day event and the ONLY lighted parade in New York City.
