Okay, so, let me tell you about this thing I heard about, the Saks lights. Apparently, it’s a big deal during the holidays in New York City. I’ve never been, but I was curious, so I did a little digging.
Turns out, this light show at Saks Fifth Avenue was a huge thing. Every year, they’d put on this massive display on the side of their building, right there on Fifth Avenue between 49th and 50th Streets. I mean, we’re talking hundreds of thousands of LED lights, all synced up to holiday music. It sounds pretty wild, right?
So, I started looking into it more. It used to run from late November through early January. The whole show was about three and a half minutes long. They did this every year, for like, almost 20 years. It was a big tradition for a lot of people, drawing huge crowds every holiday season.
But here’s the kicker – they canceled it this year! I found out that Saks decided to pull the plug on the whole thing because of financial reasons. The CEO said something about sales being “softer” this past year. That’s why they cancel the whole thing.
- First, I found out about the Saks light show and got curious about it.
- Then, I looked up some basic information: location, duration, the scale of the show.
- Dug deeper to find out it ran for nearly 20 years and was a major holiday tradition.
- Finally, discovered it was canceled this year due to “softer” sales and financial reasons.
So yeah, that’s the story of the Saks light show. A big, flashy holiday tradition in New York City, gone, just like that. It’s a bummer for the folks who loved it, but I guess that’s how it goes sometimes.
