We got a twinkle in our eyes when we saw a Christmas tradition absent for many years return to the Cove this holiday season – Christmas lights!
Kudos to the Cove business owners who have been pleading with the District for quite some time to bring back the lights – your Christmas wish has been granted.
The $22,000 festive décor was fully funded by contributions from some production companies that have filmed in Deep Cove.
We’re hoping the Cove, now dressed in holiday style, will see more Christmas shoppers supporting our local businesses.
Adding to the retail mix this December is a pop-up Winter Gift Gallery (inside the Seymour Art Gallery) featuring jewelry, paintings and more creations by local artists, as well as the Paper Label modern loungewear pop-up in the Artemis Gallery.
The white tree lights will keep Gallant aglow all year round, while the holiday lights will stay up until February.
Anything to brighten up the Cove during this dreary winter is fine in our books!
In the December edition of the Crier, there’s much talk of holiday traditions. Many of our readers have made Christmas memories right here in the Cove.
From the annual holiday panto at Deep Cove Shaw Theatre (don’t miss Captain Hook’s Revenge this December) to ringing in the new year with fireworks on Seymour to braving the popular Penguin Plunge, there’s plenty of family friendly fun to be had in the Cove area this Christmas.
Synced to upbeat holiday tunes, the epic Christmas lights display at 753 Beachview Dr. is a sight to behold.
Above all, please be safe this holiday season. Don’t venture outdoors unprepared. North Shore Rescue members deserve a warm Christmas dinner with their families.
And remember you can call Operation Red Nose for a by-donation, safe ride home in your own vehicle on Dec. 16, 17 and 31. Visit operationrednosenorthshore.com for more information.
Merry Christmas from the staff at the Deep Cove Crier!
