Brookline’s First Light a hit, despite COVID restrictions

Brookline rang in the holiday season virtually last week with the town’s annual First Light Celebration.
Given restrictions surrounding COVID-19, the festival was moved to a completely online platform, and local businesses took a different approach from years past to ensure Brookline residents safety while still keeping the festival s tradition alive.
Instead of the celebration taking place over the course of one day, like in years past, First Light was a week-long extravaganza starting Dec. 3 and ending at midnight on Dec. 10. This extra time gave businesses the chance to get a bit more creative.
