Updated 12/10: There have been some mixed messages related to updates on today's tree lighting. Some of the organizers told us the event was canceled given the rain and wind, which surprised some of the other people involved. Albert Fabozzi, the founder of the Tompkins Square Park holiday tree-lighting ceremony, told EVG's Stacie Joy that there will be a small event ... no musicians or microphones, but a small chorale group will perform.
Reminder: the 32nd edition of the Tompkins Square Park tree lighting will take place tomorrow (Sunday, Dec. 10) from 4 to 5 p.m.
The event, sponsored by C&B Cafe, features the Carolers of Olde New York from Theater for the New City and the Mandel & Lydon Trio with the music ... and refreshments via Veselka.

Will there be a rain date or is this come hell or high water?
Any pics out there of very early years??
Also curious if there’s a rain date, I’m seeing 40mph gusts predicted for this afternoon.
Hello 11:29 am:There has never been a rain date before. Boo hoo! The weather was perfect for it yesterday! I am so sorry for all the great folks that worked so hard to organize the tree lighting.
I wish wish wish they would rain date it. But thank you to everyone that worked so hard to organize this event. The tree all lit up this time of year in Tompkins is sublime.
It's unfortunate that communications were mishandled. Nobody controls the weather but so many look forward to this all year.
Love the tree. Looks like someone ate a big chunk of it!!
