"The Rockettes return for their 92nd season of the annual production, which runs through January 4, 2026 and anchors the city's holiday calendar as reliably as Bryant Park's rink, the Fifth Avenue windows and your first overheard "I cannot believe it's dark at 4:30." This year also marks a milestone: the troupe's 100th anniversary. Founded in St. Louis in 1925, the Rockettes landed at Radio City Music Hall in 1932 and have stayed synonymous with New York ever since."
"Fans can expect the familiar hallmarks of the show, including the "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers," alongside production updates that keep pace with the city's appetite for spectacle. The Empire State Building's lighting marks the official start of a season when the skyline doubles as a cultural calendar. The tower has long used its LEDs to spotlight major city moments and celebrations and Thursday's red-and-white palette nods to the Rockettes' signature holiday aesthetic."
On Thursday, November 6 the Empire State Building will illuminate in red and white, topped with a swirling Christmas tree in its mast, marking the opening night of the Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall.
