Empire State Plaza tree lighting tonight at 6

The annual holiday tree lighting at the Empire State Plaza will take place at 6 tonight.

High winds forced the state to reschedule the event from Sunday.

The Empire State Plaza holiday tree is a 30-foot blue spruce tree donated by Arlene Blasen of Latham. The tree is decorated with energy-saving light emitting diode bulbs, which use 82 percent less electricity than traditional lights.

Fireworks will follow the tree lighting.
