ICYMI: Huntington Holiday Spectacular Artist Talks Display

HUNTINGTON, NY—Last year, during the height of the pandemic, a local artist was asked to create an interactive winter wonderland in Huntington Village that was also pandemic-friendly. Cass Jones designed the snowflake-covered streets that so many Long Islanders visited for photo opportunities and family fun. This year, the Huntington Holiday Spectacular is dedicated to healthcare workers, and Jones tells Patch the cause had extra special meaning to her this year.

The interactive display, billed as "lights, music and surprises," is hosted by the Town of Huntington, Huntington Business Improvement District and Huntington Hospital.

Jones explains that the theme is extra meaningful to her, after dealing with her own and her parents' health issues.

"Every snowflake I painted has a sprinkle of hope, and is to honor the healthcare workers that have put their lives on the line always, but especially during this pandemic."
