Question about the ESB (building, skyscraper, schedule)

[Buffalonian4life]

Hi all,

I just had a question regarding your magnificant Empire State Building... Do the lights on the art-deco skyscraper only change during specific holidays, etc? Or is it every night? Or perhaps only on the holidays or NYC sports game nights it's lit up with that specific holiday colors, while on normal days just lit up in white? Any info would be appreciated... Thanks!

Best regards from the Queen City to the King City,

There's a whole section on the lighting schedule.

Great! Thank you, it helped a lot!
I see the fact that the ESB's lights go off at 2am! What happend to the "City that never Sleeps?"

^^^ Well, the lights use to go off at Midnight!

But as far as I know: The white lights are just used for normal lighting. Different colors are used for seasonal, holiday, or special events. Such as red and green for Christmas, red and orange for the fall, or all blue, for police memorial day.

Do people in NYC want the lights to have vaired colors through every day of the week without having to wait for a special event?
