Huntington Holiday Spectacular Proudly Announces Northwell health / Huntington  Hospital as Premier Sponsor for the 2023 Season

Huntington, Long Island, N.Y

[Huntington, NY – September 29, 2023] — The Huntington Village Business Improvement District  (BID) is thrilled to announce that Northwell / Huntington Hospital will once again take center stage as our  premier sponsor for the highly anticipated 2023 holiday season. This marks the third consecutive year of  our cherished partnership, solidifying Northwell / Huntington Hospital's unwavering commitment to our  beloved community event. 

The Huntington Holiday Spectacular, which captivated our hearts when it debuted in 2020, has since  grown into a treasured tradition that unites our Huntington community in the spirit of the holiday season.  This year, the magic of the holidays will come to life from Saturday, November 25, 2023, and continue  through Monday, January 1, 2024.  

In 2020, as the world faced unprecedented challenges and division, our community came together to  create the Huntington Holiday Spectacular. Recognizing the transformative power of the holiday season,  we erected a magnificent 75-foot "Holiday Tree of Hope" at the heart of our town. This iconic tree served  as a symbol of hope, resilience, and unity, reminding us of the indomitable spirit of humanity and the  importance of a close-knit community. 

Year after year, we've expanded the Huntington Holiday Spectacular to offer an even more unforgettable  experience. When you visit our event, you'll find a delightful array of picturesque motifs perfect for  holiday photos, including a dazzling 32-foot-long light archway, a whimsical light-up train where  children can create lasting memories, and charming light-up candy canes and reindeer. And, of course, the  star of the show remains our breathtaking 55-foot tree, which will enchant you with a mesmerizing light  show during peak times.  

Our commitment to celebrating the arts and community is unwavering. In 2022, we hosted four separate  arts markets showcasing the incredible talents of local artists. The streets came alive with dance concerts  by various dance and performing arts schools from the Huntington area, and weekly acoustic artists filled  

the air with live music. Ice carver performances, a Men's Choir performance, a heartwarming "Santa  Paws" event, and a library "pop-up" event added to the festivities. 

A highlight of our event is the Annual Huntington Menorah Lighting, featuring a beautiful 15-foot  menorah and community performances, including guitar-accompanied songs and mesmerizing fire  dancing. Donuts are shared after the menorah lighting, marking the start of the Hanukkah celebration.

Our largest event is an all-day toy drive, benefiting a local food pantry and donation center. Winter  princesses and Santa himself make special appearances, while local bakeries generously donate hot  chocolate, donuts, and pastries, spreading warmth and holiday cheer to all attendees. 

This year, we are continuing to grow the experience with new and exciting decor and events.  

The Huntington Village Business Improvement District (BID) extends its heartfelt gratitude to Northwell  / Huntington Hospital for their continued support. Together, we reaffirm our dedication to the well-being  and unity of the Huntington community.  

"We take immense pride in sponsoring the Huntington Holiday Spectacular, a celebration that brings our  community together in the spirit of joy and togetherness,” said Nick Fitterman, MD, executive director  Huntington Hospital. “Supporting events like these is at the heart of our commitment to our community." 

We invite you to be a part of this extraordinary celebration, where joy, hope, and the magic of the holiday  season come to life.
