First Holiday Lights Parade Draws Hundreds [PHOTOS]

Hundreds of spectators lined the streets of downtown Yorktown Heights as the first annual Holiday Lights Parade lit up the streets and the faces of those who braved the cold to watch.

Fire trucks from several departments decorated in lights were joined by ambulances, highway department vehicles, floats and marchers from many organizations who marched to Jack DeVito Memorial Field for the town tree lighting, hot chocolate and carolling.

Santa himself joined in the parade but his sled must be undergoing final preparations for the big day as he instead chose to ride in a sleek 1968 Camaro complete with elves riding shotgun.

The event was co-sponsored by the Yorktown Parks and Recreation Department and the Yorktown Heights Engine Company.
