Photos: Annual holiday bonfire in downtown Riverhead
The Town of Riverhead hosted its annual bonfire and holiday celebration on the riverfront Saturday.
Sponsored by the Town of Riverhead and the Riverhead BID, the popular event featured a large bonfire, hot chocolate and a visit from Santa, who arrived in a boat decorated with sparkling lights.
After making his way along the riverfront to the town Christmas tree, Santa sprinkled magic fairy dust in the air, causing the tree to light up. Afterwards Santa greeted excited children in his gingerbread house.
