Another holiday season aglow for Dyker Heights
Leaving Brooklyn for Rockefeller Center? Fuhgettaboudit.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year for Dyker Heights, a small southwest Brooklyn nabe known New York-wide for its larger-than-life holiday displays. The community – lauded as “Con Ed’s warmest heartthrob” and the “undisputed capital of Christmas pageantry” by the New York Times – is gearing up to light the night for four weeks straight.
“Every year, as we know, it’s a tradition in the Dyker Heights community that we celebrate the Christmas season by putting up decorations and lights and so forth that really brings the spirit of Christmas to the community and to the people, really, throughout New York City,” explained Dyker Heights Civic Association President Fran Vella-Marrone. “We have people visiting Dyker Heights this time of year from just about everywhere. Everyone is taking notice.”
