First Night and Tree Lighting Ceremony

  • Old Westbury Gardens (map)

Experience the magic of Westbury House illuminated for the season! Take a self-guided tour through our beautifully decorated period rooms adorned with enchanting holiday floral displays. Enjoy cookies and warm cider on the West Porch, meet Santa, and capture a festive photo!

We are excited to welcome members of the New York Dance Theatre / Ohman School of Ballet who will perform select scenes from The Nutcracker in the Red Ballroom at 6:45pm.

A Christmas concert will follow at 7:30pm by the St Agnes Cathedral Choir of Rockville Centre, followed by our outdoor tree lighting ceremony—a perfect way to celebrate the season together.
