Sunnyside will be celebrating the holiday spirit for the second time in a week when the lights along Skillman Avenue get switched on next Tuesday.

The lights, which go down Skillman Avenue (between 52nd and 43rd Streets), have been part of this neighborhood’s holiday season for the past four years.

The official ceremony is scheduled to take place on the corner of Skillman Avenue and 50th Street at 6 pm. Children from PS 11 and PS 150 will be singing Christmas Carols—and Santa—along with elected officials—will be making an appearance.

The event is being hosted by the Sunnyside Chamber of Commerce and the Skillman Project, an organization that promotes restaurants and cafés along that avenue.

Earlier this week, Sunnyside Shines and the Sunnyside Chamber of Commerce held a holiday lighting ceremony under the Sunnyside arch. The event began with carolers from the LaGuardia Community College vocal program and was followed by performance from the Sunnyside Drum Corps.

Some of the vehicles were stolen from owners’ driveways, some with the keys or key fobs inside. The stolen vehicles were often sold through advertisements on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. The defendants are charged in nine separate indictments for a total of 373 counts, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced on Thursday.
