What day will the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree be lit in 2008?

Question

Please list a web source if possible.

The Wiki on this subject says "early December or late-November" but does anyone know the exact date? Or about how many days post-Thanksgiving on average does it take to be lit?

I'm only going to be in town for 5 days from 26th November, and would love to be there to skate whilst it's lit.

Thanks so much for your effort!

Answer 1

sorry i don't know

Answer 2

i was born and raised in NY also..and normally the tree was lit the first Saturday in December but last year, 2007, it was November 28th, which is earlier than normal..

if you come the time u are planning i think you should be ok..its beautiful..and dont forget to check all the store window displays..something u will never forget

ive found a cool website from NBC in NYC showing 2008 xmas events..check it out

Answer 3

My friend, the tree will be lit in early December, around the 3rd of December. However, this is my estimated guess, since the folks own Rockefeller Center have not made an official announcement yet.

Good luck
