It's Official

Winterfest of Lights has begun. With the lighting at sunset on November 15th and appearing nightly til January 1st. Northside Park (bayside 127th Street) has come alive with "the holiday spirit". You can take a train ride around the park to view all the lights for a nominal fee and come back to the big tent which houses Santa, hot chocolate, a gift shop and more...truly a fun experience for the whole family. While you are there be sure to pick up an entertainment schedule as most nights there is some type of special entertainment in celebration of this festive season.

Not to be forgotten is the display of lights at the inlet parking lot as well as the lighted Christmas trees on the center median strip on Coastal Highway and Baltimore Avenue. This event was started by the Chamber of Commerce many years ago as a way of getting people to come to the resort at this time of the year when things were typically pretty quiet. It has certainly done that and more. The upcoming Thanksgiving weekend is a very heavily visited time in the resort and the Winterfest of Lights play a large role in that happening. ENJOY!
