Festive Night Kicks Off Benicia’s Holiday Season
December 5th, 2009 categories: Benicia, Fun Stuff, Local Stuff
The annual walk on First Street — better known as Benicia’s Holiday Open House — was another rousing success Friday Night. The weather was nippy (but not too cold) and the street was packed with just about everyone in town.
Out in front of our office at 900 First St., there was a steady line pretty much all night line as people queued up for free bags of popcorn, cotton candy and pictures with Santa.
And all up and down First Street it was a sea of people, as Benicians young and old exchanged holiday greetings and paused to enjoy a wide variety of holiday musical entertainment.
The antique city fire truck was back again, adorned in festive holiday lights. And most First St. merchants kept their doors open until 9 pm, serving all sorts of holiday treats to anyone who stopped by.
Above and below are three videos I took last night. If you missed this year’s festivities, be sure to put it on your calendar for next December; it’s always the first Friday in December.
