East Harlem Holiday Tree

El Árbolito del Barrio

 
 

The East Harlem Holiday Tree—to be formally lit on Friday, December 6, 6:30 p.m.(rain date December 13)—is a beacon that symbolizes the persistence of hope and the determination to prevail in the diverse and culturally rich community of East Harlem.

Como una luz de esperanza en la lucha que es la diversidad y riqueza cultural entre nosotros y este pueblo, el Árbolito del Barrio brilla.

17th Annual East Harlem Tree Lighting Virtual Tour of El Barrio Spanish Harlem

Because of COVID-19, we could not gather together to light the tree in 2020. Instead, we created a video that not only shows the tree being lit but also highlighted the many businesses and organizations in East Harlem that stepped up to help out the community during the pandemic. Walkthrough these streets with us.

Debido al COVID-19 no pudimos reunirnos para encender el árbol en 2020. En su lugar, creamos un video que no solo muestra el árbol encendido, sino que también destacaba las muchas empresas y organizaciones en East Harlem que dieron un paso adelante para ayudar a la comunidad durante la pandemia. Camina por estas calles con nosotros.
