5. Renew Your Vows in Times Square

Join couples of all ages, genders, religions, races, and backgrounds on the Red Steps of Times Square for an annual tradition, a mass vow renewal ceremony at the Crossroads of the World. Hosted by the Times Square Alliance, this event is free and anyone can register. The ceremony will be preceded a performance from the new Broadway play Pretty Woman: The Musical and will be followed by a confetti drop! One lucky couple will even win tickets to see the Pretty Woman show! The entire affair will take place in view of the annual Times Square Valentine Heart Design Competition winner “X” by Reddymade, the largest sculpture to ever win the competition. The sculpture is made of two intersecting aluminum planes that create a space to meet under. The more people that gather around, the brighter the structure glows. A hole in the middle of the intersection creates a heart shape when viewed from different angles making it the perfect backdrop for the vow renewal ceremony.

The festivities begin at 6:00 PM on Thursday, February 14th. You can register for the vow renewal ceremony here!
