Flatbush Ave. BID’s ‘Meet Santa’ and tree lighting event brought joy to kids of all ages
Event Held at Flatbush Reformed Church
On Saturday, Dec. 10, children, teens, and adults waited patiently to meet Santa as he sat on his white and gold throne on the steps of the historic Flatbush Reformed Church.
The event was spearheaded by Lauren Elvers Collins, Executive Director of Flatbush Avenue Business Improvement District (BID) and Church Avenue BID. Guests included Councilmember Mathieu Eugene of Brooklyn’s 40th District and Nanette Nicholes, church administrator for the Flatbush Reformed Church.
Mistress of ceremonies Jingles the Elf (Sista Zaraya) joked with shoppers, led Christmas carols and danced with passersby. This special free event was arranged by the Flatbush Avenue BID and the Church Avenue BID to thank visitors for shopping local this holiday season.
