5. Meatpacking District Holiday Light Public Art Display
This holiday season, the Meatpacking Business Improvement District’s holiday light display will return to the neighborhood along Ninth Avenue between 14th Street and Gansevoort Street with new engaging material perfect for getting into the holiday spirit. Included in this year’s display is a festive installation of lights, seasonal planters, and larger-than-life snow people, which return after the social media fame they garnered last winter. For their current iteration, the snow people have been outfitted with customized accessories reflecting the Meatpacking District’s status as a top destination for luxury and innovative designs.
As a new addition, along Ninth Avenue, there are two illuminated geometric frames for taking holiday card-worthy photos. At Gansevoort Plaza, visitors are greeted with neon lights in abstract shapes and a colonnade draped in freeform neon lights bouncing shapes off a mirrored tunnel. The Meatpacking District’s holiday light display can be visited beginning on December 8th and will remain up through mid-January.
