It’s that wonderful time of year again as downtown Glen Cove puts on its holiday spirit. The Glen Cove Downtown Business Improvement District (BID) has decorated with the able assistance of Damion Stavredes and the Glen Cove Beautification Commission. The Glen Cove Department of Public Works and National Grid play starring roles as the downtown prepares for the holidays.

The annual tree lighting ceremony will take place on Saturday, November 26th at Glen Cove’s Village Square, at Glen and Bridge Streets.
