Coquitlam will be kicking off the holiday season with its annual Light the Hall event next week and is inviting residents to join in.
The free event on November 21 will be held at city hall (3000 Guildford Way) with activities taking place throughout the afternoon, including crafts, photos with Santa, musical performances and a giant snowglobe.
'Twas the Night Before Christmas will be performed by the Coastal Sound Music choir at 5 p.m., right before Graham Myers of Second Storey Theatre leads the countdown that will illuminate 60,000 lights at the hall and Lafarge Lake.
The city said that Light the Hall is one of the largest displays of its kind in the Lower Mainland and invites residents to stick around after the countdown to take a closer look at the attractions.
Lights will be on city hall and Lafarge Lake between November 21 and the New Year from dusk until midnight.
