The Empire State Building Will Shine Red, Black & Green Next Wednesday For Juneteenth
Juneteenth, a significant American holiday that celebrates the emancipation of enslaved people in Texas on June 19th, 1865, is almost upon us. Falling on Wednesday, June 19th, 2024, Juneteenth will be a cause for celebrations all across the city, from concerts to fests, and even special lights for the Empire State Building.
If you look to skies next Wednesday, you’ll catch the NYC monument glowing in red, black and green for the national holiday. The Empire State Building typically commemorates important dates and moments throughout the year with an ever evolving lights calendar. Most recently, the Empire State Building commemorated National Gun Violence Awareness Day.
The lights will be most visible around sunset, which is at 8:30pm on Wednesday, through 2am. Following Juneteenth, the Empire State Building will glitter in split lights of blue and orange for the New York Mets and pinstripes for the New York Yankees on Tuesday, June 25th.
