BRIDGETON CELEBRATES THE SEASON WITH
ANNUAL FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS
The
Bridgeton Recreation Department will hold its tenth Festival of Lights December
1, 2 and 3 at the Cohanzick Zoo in the City Park from 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The rain date is Sunday, December 4. This year’s theme is “Peace On Earth”. Admission is $3 per person. Advance tickets may be purchased at the
Recreation Office, 35 Mayor Aitken Drive, Monday thru Friday from 9 a.m. to 4
p.m. Reserved parking is available for
$5.00, and those who wish to commemorate lost loved ones may purchase a
Remembrance Dove for $5.00 in advance or at the Festival. Some other items also are fee based.
There will
be a free craft for the kids (while supplies last), and free karaoke (release
your inner American Idol). The ever
popular train ride will be available for a nominal fee. Elsa and Anna will be there Friday and
Saturday, and, of course, Santa Claus.
The zoo will be beautifully lit with flashes of colorful lights. Visitors may bring a gift for their favorite
zoo resident. A list of suggestions may be
obtained through the Recreation Office.
And, since our keepers have been
exceptionally good this year, they are receiving a special gift from
Santa. Be among the first to find out
what it is. The Festival is fun for kids
of all ages.
Funding has
been made possible in part by the New Jersey State Council on the
Arts/Department of State, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the
Cumberland County Board of Chosen Freeholders through the Cumberland County
Cultural & Heritage Commission. We
also wish to thank Let’s Do Linens, Inc., PhilCorr, LLC and B. W. Stetson &
Company for their financial support.

Office at 856-453-1675.
