10:30am | Nearly 30 businesses will again get into the holiday spirit this year by decorating for the season as part of the Downtown Long Beach Associates’ (DLBA) annual Festival of Lights promotion taking place from tomorrow, December 1, through December 24.
 
Festival of Lights is designed to not only drum up traffic, but just as importantly create a festive atmosphere for anyone visiting the Downtown area. Visitors are encouraged to vote for the best of decorative designs. In addition to the Festival of Lights¸ the DLBA has added to the holiday décor by placing holiday swags, wreaths, lights, and garlands throughout Downtown Long Beach. These festive decorations are located on Pine Avenue, from 1st Street to 10th Street, and on Broadway from Pine Avenue to Alamitos Avenue, and will remain in place through the New Year.
