The decision by Saks Fifth Avenue not to present its famed holiday light show this season marks a significant change, as the show had been a long-standing tradition that drew large crowds for nearly two decades.
In light of a challenging year for luxury retail, Saks will instead celebrate a hundred years of its flagship store’s architectural significance by illuminating the facade and enhancing the holiday windows.
Despite previous mentions of the light display in October’s announcements, the recent confirmation of its cancellation suggests that the store's decision to cut costs has been a rapid evaluation of its traditional holiday offerings.
The light show was a major attraction that complemented nearby festive spots like the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, highlighting its importance within New York City's winter celebrations.
