More about this place
Fifth Avenue Holiday Windows is an evening walk past Midtown’s most elaborate seasonal storefronts and building displays. Start near Saks Fifth Avenue and St. Patrick’s Cathedral, then walk north toward luxury flagships and Bergdorf Goodman, letting the current year’s installations determine the exact stops.
Fifth Avenue’s official 2026 corridor décor fills 47th to 59th Streets and remains on view through January 4, while individual flagship windows and light-show formats follow brand-specific schedules. Visit after dark and avoid the peak post-dinner crush when possible.

Choose a direction that ends near wherever you want to spend the rest of the evening. Walking the windows as one continuous route is more enjoyable than repeatedly doubling back between favorite displays.
