Those beautiful lights that make the Bridge Street Bridge sparkle don’t screw themselves in.
At midnight Friday, Al DiGuido, Vinny Penna and a crew of helpers were out, ensuring another bright holiday season.

Al’s Angels — the Westport-based charity helping children and families battle cancer and severe hardships (among many other good works) — ensures that the well-traveled bridge looks its best every holiday season.
You can see the lights for yourself on Wednesday, December 4. That’s when Santa arrives (6 p.m.), and a Christmas tree will be lit in Saugatuck Center, on the plaza between the Whelk and Saugatuck Sweets.
From 5:30 to 8 p.m. there’s refreshments, fun, and old-fashioned community spirit.
And — in that holiday spirit — the sponsoring Gault family asks everyone to bring an unwrapped toy, for a child under 10.
Al’s Angels will take care of the rest.
As — very quietly, but lovingly, all year long — they always do.
Beautiful…thanks, guys!
It absolutely MAKES the Christmas and Holiday season 🙂
Thank you, Angels, for all your acts of generosity to our community.
You set a great example for the rest of us to follow….Julie Fatherley

I look forward to the light on the bridge every year. Wonderful!!!
Looks fun! I would b up for this then maybe I’ll head over to Mario’s & get the girls a bowl of pasta… If it’s as cold as today though I don’t know if I’ll last… If we go want to join us?
