Dedicate a Luminaria
Light is a universal symbol of Good, Knowledge, Hope and Love. Luminaries will be placed around the perimeter of the field in conjunction with the Tree Lighting on Saturday, December 16th. Luminaries symbolize the spirit of the holidays, bringing light and warmth into our community members homes, honoring loved ones with peace, and guiding residents into a bright and joyful New Year. 

To dedicate a Luminaria, please fill out the Luminaria Dedication Form and include the name and/or message you would like inscribed on each luminary, and our staff will transcribe this onto a bag for you. Luminaries will be displayed around the perimeter of the field and will remain lit through the event.
