We're honored to be able to carry on a beloved Hyde Park tradition into its 20th year, in spite of a pandemic. Thank you to the wonderful folks from the Hyde Park Community Circle for passing the baton to our committee this year and teaming up to make this event come to life.
At a time when the world feels rather dark, we're glad to bring a little light.
A big THANKS to all our neighbors who purchased light dedications in memory, in honor, or in celebration to make this year's wreath display possible. The names and event dedications are listed below. We'll also be reading the names aloud with a livestream video at 5pm on Saturday, December 5th along with holidays music performed by Andy Race. You can watch it live on our Facebook page, and the recording will be available to watch afterwards as well. Pour yourself a warm drink and toast to the holidays with us.
