Luminaries lights up the winter garden to Brookfield Place in Lower Manhattan. Hundreds of lanterns hang above the courtyard and put on a mesmerizing show. Designed by the LAB at Rockwell Group, the canopy of rainbow-colored lights are controlled by touchless wishing stations.

Wishing stations, which have been made contactless this year, allow visitors to send a motion-activated wish to the lanterns above. Wishes make the lanterns light up and change colors. For each wish, Brookfield Place will donate $1, up to $25,000 to Relief Opportunities for All Restaurants (ROAR). Get your wishing by January 3rd, 2021.
