Tis the season, Roosevelt Island!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! You may have spotted decorative garland, twinkle lights, a sleigh, giant gift boxes, and more as Roosevelt Island has entered the holiday season. To celebrate the season, since were unable to return to full holiday activities at this time, we hope youll join us for the Roosevelt Island Holiday Trail on Friday, December 3rd, from 5 PM 7 PM!
The Roosevelt Island Holiday Trail is a festive and fun collection of stops where RIOC, in partnership with community groups, businesses, and partners will offer holiday-themed music, treats, information, and more!
The Holiday Trail will take revelers to various island locations, from the NYC Ferry landing to the RISA Holiday Village at Good Shepherd Plaza (543 Main St.). This scaled-down free event will be a festive day of fun and a chance for all to show off your ugliest Christmas sweaters or best holiday regalia, as the tree will be turned on at 7 PM on the Meditation Lawn.
We hope you can come out and celebrate the holiday spirit!
