Winter’s Eve at Lincoln Square

In “A Christmas Carol,” Scrooge’s spiritual opposite was Fezziwig, his genial boss of long ago who knew when to put aside workaday concerns, throw open his doors and invite everyone to a grand party. Something similar will happen in New York on Monday evening, but the companies offering the revelry will be modern corporations in the Lincoln Square Business Improvement District. This annual festival will offer many children’s events and activities, including a tree lighting; concerts by the Suzi Shelton Band; a performance by Jack Frost of the Big Apple Circus; a holiday card workshop with the New York Society for Ethical Culture; and screenings of “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory” at the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center.
