On December 20 the darkest day of this year, a program is sponsored by the Central Park Conservancy called as Winter Festival of Light. Listen to stories of the award-winning storyteller Regina Ress, she will be telling stories about many beautiful mid-winter holidays.
Winter Festival of Lights is a wonderful program, to celebrate the light in the darkness. The Winter Solstice, Christmas and the New Year all are celebrated with charming stories and dazzling light which will give you a beautiful feel.
The program would be held at the Dana Discovery Center from 4.00 p.m. to 5.00 p.m. on Saturday in Central park located between 59th and 110th St. Winter Festival of Lights will end with a candle-lit procession in which we invite the light to return and a new beginning for the coming New Year.

When this castle was build views of Delcorte Theatre, and of a rectangular reservoir was seen which is now replaced by Green Lawn. Belvedere castle also houses the Henry Luce Nature Observatory, which has collections of natural history artifacts like skeletons, exhibits on birds and other wildlife found in the Park, and also has microscopes and telescopes.
The castle used to house the New York Meteorological Observatory, which was taken over by the United States Weather Bureau in 1912. It still serves as a weather station. Besides offering breathtaking views the Castle is also the favorite haunt of many of Central Park’s dedicated bird watchers, a great place to catch a glimpse of hawks, kestrels, etc.
