The city of Coquitlam is encouraging people who plan to attend Coquitlam’s Jingle Bells Night at Lafarge Lake next week to take transit.

According to the city, large crowds are expected for the Dec. 22 event, which is easily accessible from Lafarge Lake-Douglas SkyTrain Station. Organizers are hoping to break last year’s record, when more than 500 people participated in the sing-a-long of “Jingle Bells.”

The event is part of the activities at Lafarge Lake, which has been lit up for Christmas with a display that will run until Jan. 21. Lights switch on each day at dusk and power off at 11 p.m., with the exception of Dec. 31, when they will stay on until after midnight.

This year, visitors can also purchase hot drinks and snacks from a concession located near Town Centre Park Plaza from Wednesday to Sunday between 4:30 and 9 p.m.
