The Rotary Club of Tsawwassen is getting set to present its “gift” to the community.
Rotarians will celebrate the spirit of the Christmas season with the Gift of Light from 3 to 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 1 in Diefenbaker Park.
More than 25,000 lights have been strung on over 40 trees to light up the park with a festive display.
It is a family-oriented event, so the whole community is encouraged to come out rain or shine.
In addition to lighting the tree display, there will be entertainment on the main stage, a cookie decorating station, face painters, a balloon artist, fire pits for roasting marshmallows and rides around the park in a horse drawn carriage.
Santa Claus will make a special visit in a fire truck courtesy of the Delta Fire Department, and then families are encouraged to walk down Candy Cane Lane to Santa’s Igloo to have a photo taken.
The event will then end in incredible fashion as the Christmas light display is turned on in the park.
Admission is free, although residents are encouraged to bring donations of non-perishable food items for the South Delta Food Bank.
"South Delta is a really engaged community full of so many wonderful people and because of this Rotary tries to bring the community together in all the events that we put on," said Rotarian Mitch Romano. "The holiday season is a special time of year for many people, so this event is a great way to kick-off the holiday season with the whole family."
