Santa arrives for the lighting of the Del Ray Christmas Tree Dec. 7 at Pat Miller Neighborhood Square.
Del Ray kicked off its annual tree lighting ceremony with a visit from Santa Dec. 7 in Pat Miller Neighborhood Square.
Hundreds turned out for the event, which included a visit from Santa with Mount Vernon Avenue illuminated with thousands of luminarias.
Guests were encouraged to bring new, unwrapped toys for the Alexandria Sheriff Department’s Operation Elf, and travel-size toiletries and non-perishable foods for Carpenter’s Shelter.
Also in Pat Miller Square, a Menorah was lit Dec. 14 and will continue through the Hanukkah holiday.
