Light Up Brookhaven is the city’s yearly kickoff to the holidays, when Brookhaven Parks and Recreation switches on the lights at Blackburn Park.
It is a three-hour weeknight evening outdoors, and in past years Santa has made a memorable entrance, so it is worth keeping an eye on the city’s Special Events page for this year’s lineup.
Parent tip: Blackburn Park fills up fast on event nights, so arrive near 6 pm and dress kids warmly for an evening outside.

A story for the drive home
A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.
A bedtime story after seeing SantaRally Takes the Train is a five-minute rhyming picture book about a corgi’s first ride on a California train, hand-painted in watercolor. $16.99 on Amazon, ages 0 to 8.
