Around Lafayette: City does what it can to brighten holidays
‘Lights the Night’ celebration, Little Free Pantry, donating party funds among efforts around town
The “Lafayette Lights the Night” celebration is a citywide holiday display that has become the envy of neighboring enclaves. The Lafayette Chamber of Commerce, the city of Lafayette and residents young, old and in between, shared an evening moment Dec. 6, when everyone flipped the switch, as it were, in unison to turn on not only the famous Christmas tree in Plaza Park but also scores of homes and businesses across town that were decorated for the festive occasion.
With the annual twinkle lights paving the way down Mount Diablo Boulevard and “Lafayette Lights the Night’s” displays in full illumination, isn’t it that time of year to come downtown (with masks on) to Plaza Park and take photos in front of the tree? Don’t forget to snap one too with Lafayette’s snow globe, also on seasonal display in the park.
And while downtown, you can safely shop for holiday gifts. Or, if you feel more comfortable, support local Lafayette businesses online. The Lafayette Chamber has made it easy with their virtual Holiday Gift Guide, which you can explore at lafayettechamber.org/gifts. Keep it local by supporting our homegrown Lafayette businesses during the holidays. Sure, it’s easy to click a link on Amazon, but when you shop Lafayette, you are helping local business owners through these challenging economic times. Make this a great holiday season, shop Lafayette!
