Holiday Festival Lights Up Lincoln Park

NEW ROCHELLE, NY — Lincoln Park was transformed into a winter wonderland Wednesday with holiday lights, music, entertainment, a sprinkling of snow and special visit from Santa. "Light the Night at Lincoln Park" was presented as part of the city's Downtown Revitalization Initiative and was coordinated by the Department of Development with support from City Councilman Jared Rice and council-member-elect Yadira Ramos Herbert, the Department of Parks and Recreation and community partners.

Rice said the event served as a literal and figurative message to the community.

"The City of New Rochelle is now, more than ever, committed to partnering with District 3 community members as we grow this city together and light the path into a new decade of economic development and community partnership," he said.

The event featured local vocalists Delonna Jones from the Municipal Housing Authority, Bethesda Baptist Choir and music from DJ Zeke, with holiday-themed displays and a light show highlighting the beauty of the Lincoln basketball courts, park and corridor.
