The Christmas lights turn on, the ice rink officially opens, and the Stavros Niarchos Park is illuminated with enchanting displays. On the evening that the Christmas World will “light up,” the SNFCC will be filled with the swing and jazz sounds of the Loop Quartet and Nina Mazani. At the same time, the evening’s magic will be transported across the Atlantic via live broadcast to Lincoln Center in New York as part of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation-Lincoln Center (SNF-LC) Agora Initiative.
Each and every day through the end of the holiday season, the SNFCC Christmas World will hold dozens of surprises and will feature activities and interactive experiences for people of all ages. The holiday events culminate on New Year’s Eve with a spectacular fireworks show, a lively concert and, of course, the
SNF RUN: 2026 FIRST RUN, organized by SNF under the supervision of the nonprofit Regeneration & Progress, finishing with a big party at the Agora.
The SNFCC Christmas World comes to life through support from SNF. All activities and events are free or accessed with low-costs tickets.
