This longstanding tradition at The Riverside Church has become an essential part of Christmas in New York City. This service of music and light combines carillon, organ, harp, and all of the choirs of The Riverside Church, culminating in a ritual sharing of candlelight illuminating the Nave. Musical prelude begins at 3:00 PM.

New this year! After the Candlelight Festival, join us for a festive buffet dinner with an open bar in Assembly Hall, where proceeds from the evening will support Riverside’s social services.
