Shop local this Christmas season, starting with the Heights Merchants Association’s Light Up the Heights holiday kick-off.
On Saturday, Dec. 3 from noon to 5 p.m. drop by the Heights for a festive sidewalk sale. There will be special pricing during the event, plus treats, music and giveaways – and even a visit from Santa Claus and his helpers, according to a press release.
The daylong celebration, meant to promote shopping local during the holiday season, culminates in a special tree lighting ceremony at Burnaby Fire Hall No. 5 at 4:30 p.m.
“We invite the public to join us as we Light up the Heights along Hastings Street,” said Isabel Kolic, executive director of the merchants’ association.
And there will be a plethora of goodies at the fire hall for everyone who comes by, including cookies courtesy of Valley Bakery, hot chocolate from Caffe Divano and, of course, carollers. Folks will also be able to enter a contest for a chance to win a honey ham from Cioffi’s Meat and Deli, estimated at about 10 pounds.
