The illuminated cross atop Deno’s Wonder Wheel is a 67-year holiday tradition started by the Garms family to mark the end of World War II and the troops return home. The new LED cross, which was made by DJ Vourderis, is on the wheel from Thanksgiving thru Jan 6. May your holidays be merry and bright!! Source: Coney Island History Project
