The Royal Newfoundland Regiment Band and the St. Andrew’s Elementary School Choir will provide festive entertainment for all to enjoy. Hot chocolate and other refreshments will be served after the Christmas lights are switched on.

The Honourable Dwight Ball, Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, will join six-year-old Emma King and family to activate the lights.
