Christmas light drive-through displays accentuate the holiday spirit in Chilliwack

CHILLIWACK — While the weather has indeed been frightful the past few days, it’s all the more reason for Chilliwack families to experience the beauty of festive Christmas light displays in the warmth of their vehicles and avoid the bitterly cold subzero temperatures this past week.

One of the neatest drive-through Christmas light extravaganzas in all of Chilliwack is back for another year of holiday entertainment.

Headlining the list of Sardis-area Christmas light attractions is the festive spectacle at 7620 Diamond Crescent just north of Knight Road, and in between Evans Road and Topaz Lane. The lights are timed and synchronized with Christmas music found on the FM dial via a low-frequency transmitter.

People who stop by the Diamond Crescent dandy are invited to donate coins or paper currency, or donate online, towards the efforts of the Chilliwack Firefighters Charitable Society.

“Our Charitable Society was originally formed in order for us to give back to the community,” a sign outside 7620 Diamond Crescent states. “Our mandate allows us to give monies to other registered charities, such as the B.C. Professional Firefighters Burn Fund, B.C. Cancer Society, Chilliwack Hospice Society, Big Brothers and Big Sisters of the Fraser Valley, Chilliwack Children’s Foundation, and Chilliwack Community Services.”

Prospective donors are invited to visit their website at www.chwkfirecharity.ca.

Another odds-on favourite with locals is 7355 Leary Crescent just north of Wells Road, located not far from the Chilliwack Society for Community Living campus. The gigantic Merry Christmas sign beckons to passersby and motorists, featuring the Grinch, Charlie Brown, and a Santa Claus hologram in the window.
