100th Anniversary Washington Square Christmas Eve Caroling

12/24/2024
5:00 PM – 6:00 PM

WASHINGTON SQUARE PARK

Christmas Eve, December 24 at 5 pm is the traditional time to celebrate the holiday with carols near the Washington Square Arch. The Rob Susman Brass Quartet, the song leader, Linseigh Green, and the revelers from all over the city will lustily sing out the familiar tunes. The words are in the songbooks distributed by the Washington Square Association, but many will know them by heart. “Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men” will ring out and is especially meaningful this season.

The Association provides the annual 45-foot Christmas tree just south of the Arch that will be lit for the season between the hours of 4 pm and 1 am.

The Washington Square Association, Inc. founded in 1906, is one of the city’s oldest community organizations. For 94 years, it has sponsored carol singing under the arch. Other activities concern the continued improvement of Washington Square, the Washington Square Music Festival, and the fostering of neighborhood spirit.
