WEST PALM BEACH, FL – Rosemary Square, developed by Related Companies, today announced its festive lineup of events for the holiday season including nightly snowfalls, music and dance performances by local cultural institutions, and the unveiling of The Wishing Tree, a towering 32-foot-tall LED banyan tree created by Symmetry Labs. Guests will first experience Rosemary Square’s newly renovated public spaces and a spectacular light show from The Wishing Tree on November 30 during Rosemary Square’s holiday kickoff celebration. The large-scale public art installation will join the lyrical Water Pavilion West Palm by Danish artist Jeppe Hein, which will be commemorated on December 6 on the square.
