2008 Lighting Contest
Being a retired Naval Vet, if there is one thing that I miss, it is this…the Christmas Lighting Contest. This year is the 21st Annual Navy Lighting Contest, in support of the Mustard Seed Food Bank, will take place nightly 6 – 9 pm from 11 – 24 December 2008.
Three buses will take visitors in a “loop route” throughout CFB Naden and then the Dockyard sections of of the base each night. A typical tour lasts approximatelu 25 minutes.
Visitors are to go to CFB Esquimalt main gates on Admirals Road for parking and to drop off non-perishable food items and/or cash donations for the Mustard Seed Food Bank, purchase hot chocolate, and board shuttles. Be sure you do not miss out on this event….the lights on the Destroyers are amazing!!

I love Christmas the parade of lights, light shows and decorated homes, from the tacky to the stunning.
Here’s a post I wrote last year that had a video clip of an amazing and over-the-top light show. It’s one of the most over-prduced shows I’vbe ever seens….http://www.thedctraveler.com/holiday-light-shows/
