Dyker Heights Holiday Lights Showcase 2013, Part One Of Three

The Dyker Heights Christmas and holiday light show is one of those defining things about our little corner of Brooklyn, drawing thousands from around the tri-state area looking to check out great holiday lights installed by our neighbors.

No one knows how or when the tradition began, but it has grown to swallow up the whole neighborhood in an unrivaled display of holiday spirit.

Bensonhurst Bean contributor Eric Jankiewicz put together this video, capturing the awe and splendor of the lights and decorations and the reaction from visitors.

Over the next few days, we’ll feature more photos and videos from this year’s Dyker Heights holiday celebrations. Stay tuned!
