“The holidays are always an exciting time in Military Park. Our annual holiday event draws lots of people who work and live in the neighborhood and the lights in the park help make the downtown festive,” said Ben Donsky, Vice President of Biederman Redevelopment Ventures, which redeveloped the historic Military Park and operates and programs events in the park with the Military Park Partnership. “I'm looking forward to celebrating another successful year in Military Park with our great community partners.”
