Drive down Springfield Avenue, and you’ll notice seasonal plantings in the baskets mounted on streetlamp poles. Thanks to our sponsors who sponsor these baskets, our Downtown is more welcoming. Sponsors businesses, neighborhoods and individual families,This tradition dates back to 2018, when DBC raised the funds to buy these oversized planters. 

We partner with the Winter Walk Committee to help run this unique, family-focused celebration of the holiday season.  The Winter Walk is a way for the businesses of Berkeley Heights to give back to the community.  We invite the people of Berkeley Heights and surrounding communities to experience a night of fun, festivities and community fully funded and hosted by the Berkeley Heights business and civic community.

Each year, local businesses make Downtown sparkle for the holidays by decorating their businesses in accordance with the guidelines of the Bright Nights in Berkeley Heights program.
