To revel in the Uptown sparkle that lights up the neighborhood during the holidays, Columbia had the honor of joining the Harlem Holiday Lights parade and partnering with the 125th Street Business Improvement District, Apollo Theater, Settepani Harlem, Mount Morris Park Community Improvement Association, Community Boards 9 and 10, and many other amazing sponsors to make it possible.

Take a stroll through Harlem to catch the sparkle this season. Or relive the magic of the parade with Columbia Neighbors' photo essay.
