6th Annual Bayview Holiday Marketplace & Treelighting

The 6^th Annual Bayview Holiday Marketplace & Treelighting was held Saturday, December 12 at the Bayview Opera House.

Tree Lighting Ceremony (around 5pm)

Flyers & some signage was in English, Spanish, & Chinese in an effort to encourage a diverse turnout, but attendees were mostly Black. Attendance was not great & most vendors & activity personnel seemed less than enthused to be there, which was a shame for the kids.
Santa’s Unilocaler sez: Nothing. he’s a bit ashamed at the indifferent folks he’s seeing here.
