Image of 2014 Roosevelt Island Tree Lighting Ceremony For the second year in a row, the rain came pouring down on the Roosevelt Island Tree Lighting Ceremony but that did not dampen the spirit of the crowd waiting for the lighting of the Tree in front of Blackwell House. Here’s the Tree lights coming on.

Will have video of the full festivities including songs from the Main Street Theater & Dance Alliance as well as the arrival of Santa Claus soon. Also, Roosevelt Island Christmas Trees go on sale tomorrow.
