This year, lights illuminated the gazebo and the surrounding walkways of the park. Neighbors, friends and family gathered for hot cocoa, cookies and cider provided by Safe Refuge. Attendees listened to live guitar music performed by Daniel Villa and sang holiday tunes provided by DJ George Benitez.
