Lighting the future — Looking ahead to Christmas 2020 in Dyker
Dyker Heights — It went better than expected but not as well as it could have.
That was the assessment local officials and community leaders offered on the nationally famous Dyker Lights, the holiday happening featuring dozens of extravagantly decorated homes with thousands of twinkling lights that draws hundreds of thousands of people who jam the neighborhood’s residential streets each year.
The nighttime display, which began shortly after Thanksgiving, ended around New Year’s Day. But more than a month after the last lights went out, officials are still evaluating the fallout from the event.
