LB Celebrates Christmas In Wrigley: 51 Photos of the Daisy Ave Parade + Entertainment + Displays + Tree Lighting

by Diana Lejins
Special to LBReport.com



[Editor's text introduction] (Dec. 18, 2011) -- The Daisy Ave. Christmas Parade -- now in its 58th year -- is a grassroots Long Beach treasure. Organized by neighbors in the Wrigley district, it runs down a residential street (Daisy Ave. between PCH and Burnett), not a commercial corridor.

But the parade is just one of a number of annual events on Daisy Ave. which include displays, entertainment and a formal tree lighting.

LBReport.com has made the Daisy Ave. parade available citywide (and worldwide) with on-demand video (click here) and we carried the tree lighting live (thank you, WANA's Jill Hill for the video feed)...but Diana Lejins' photography below captures the full scope of what Wrigley area neighbors have done this season. Enjoy...and Merry Christmas.
