School groups visiting NYC this spring will be treated to a new, sparkling light display atop one of the city's most iconic buildings, the Empire State Building. Every night, beginning at sunset until 2 A.M., the building’s tower lights will sparkle every hour, on the hour, for five minutes.

The tower will continue to feature colored lights that it uses to celebrate holidays, world cultures, milestones, events, and charitable organizations. More information and a schedule of lights can be found on the Tower Lights page of the Empire State Building website.
