It’s a big day for Lady Liberty as the city celebrates her 125th birthday with a big party on Liberty Island.
American and French officials will be there to celebrate the anniversary of the dedication of the Statue of Liberty on October 28, 1886.
The party will include a fireworks display, a parade of ships and a naturalization ceremony for 125 new citizens hailing from more than 40 countries.
New web cameras installed in the statue’s torch will also go live, featuring a panoramic view of Liberty Island and New York Harbor.
The statue will remain open through the day.
It will close tomorrow for about a year as it undergoes a $27 million renovation to upgrade the pedestal and base.
Liberty Island will remain open during the renovation.
