All performers at the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree lighting event

The 93rd annual lighting of the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree is set to take place Wednesday evening, promising a dazzling celebration. Country music legend Reba McEntire will host the event and deliver a performance as the grand tree is illuminated for the holiday season.

This years centerpiece is an impressive 75-foot Norway spruce, generously gifted by Judy Russ from the Albany area. The event will feature a lineup of talented performers, including Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth and Canadian singer Michael Bubl.

In addition to the vocal performances, the iconic Radio City Rockettes will also take the stage, marking a special performance as they celebrate their 100th anniversary.

The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting begins at 8 p.m. ET and will be available to watch live on NBC or via streaming on Peacock.
