• Chanukah Celebration on December 29: Celebrate with light and joy, showcasing NYC's cultural diversity.
• Santa Experiences: Ongoing chances for kids and families to meet Santa.
• MAUM Store Holiday Market: The popular Asian makers’ market returns with exclusive, handcrafted items.
In addition, The Seaport will host festive interactive workshops, plus an outdoor holiday market on December 3 to complement the tree lighting.
Dining events include:
• Drag Brunches at the House of the Red Pearl on 11/16 and 12/4
• Santa Brunches at Malibu Farm on 12/7 and 12/21
• Seafood Bashes & Wine Dinners at The Fulton on 11/12 and 12/11
Starting November 25, visitors can experience moonGARDEN, a new public art installation of glowing spheres that tell stories through light and sound, creating a magical atmosphere.
