Wesley House outdid itself with this year’s Holiday Village and BeLighted Bike Ride, transforming the Coffee Butler Amphitheater into a kids’ Christmas spectacle.
The Holiday Village on Dec. 1 featured pony rides, kiddie rides, a giant slide and real snow.
It was followed by the annual BeLighted Bike Ride, which has grown exponentially in recent years. More than 500 people of all ages, riding festively decorated bicycles, gathered at the Truman Waterfront, then pedaled down Whitehead Street and up Duval to the delight of onlookers lining the sidewalks.
The Dec. 1 Holiday Village and BeLighted Bike Ride draws several hundred festive families and friends to the Coffee Butler Amphitheater. The Wesley House event featured kids’ rides, a snow machine, giant slide and more, and was followed by the parade of decorated bikes. MARK HEDDEN/Keys Weekly and CAROL TEDESCO/HolidayFest.com
