Luminaria Night

For years, luminaria displays have lined our streets and walkways. Please help us continue this wonderful tradition.

This year, Luminaria Night is Saturday, Dec. 21. We are partnering with Edgewater again this year.

Participation is simple.  Candles and bags can be purchased at Zanocco Ace Hardware at the Edgebrook Shopping Center. The average home only needs about eight bags. Put a few inches of sand or kitty litter in the bags to weigh them down, and add the candles. Place your bags about two sidewalk sections apart on the sidewalk that crosses your yard, on the side nearest your home, and light them at dusk.  

We need volunteers to help us line the length of Harlem Boulevard and our side of the Auburn Street Bridge. With enough help, each person only needs to set up one block on the median. Please lend a hand to keep this beautiful tradition going. Contact Lenore Lund at 815.494.9646 or ldlund23@gmail.com with questions or to help.
