History of Dyker Heights Christmas Lights Tradition
There are a few versions of how the tradition got started, local historians say it dates all the way back to the 1940’s. One of the well-known pioneers is Lucy Spata, with her famed house on 84th street where just about every inch of the property is decorated. The Spata’s have been decorating for more than 40 years and add a little more each year. In addition to keeping the family tradition going strong and putting smiles on thousands of kids’ faces from around the world, the Spata’s use this fame to give back to the community through charities.
There are more than a hundred homes in the area with breathtaking decorations and inspiring stories. Their inspiration, passion and dedication may have paved the way for this world-famous annual holiday tradition.
