Together with the Hyde Park Community Circle, we're pleased to announce the 20th annual wreath lighting event to kick off the holiday season!
Hyde Park's annual wreath lighting happens on Saturday December 5th with a lighting ceremony at the Gihon Valley Hall in North Hyde Park Village.
Community members may purchase lights in honor, memory or celebration of a loved one or event. Commemorative lights should be ordered by November 21st! Lights are $5/each.
Proceeds from the sale of lights will provide funding for the wreath lighting as well as the ongoing renovation of the Gihon Valley Hall.
One wreath will be placed in Hyde Park Village at the courthouse and one in North Hyde Park at the Gihon Valley Hall. The lights will be lit the evening of Saturday, December 5th and will remain lit into the month of January.
UPDATE 11/17: A lighting ceremony will take place inside the Gihon Valley Hall on December 5th at 5pm, however it will no longer be open to the public due to heightened cases of COVID-19 and the importance of physical (but not social!) distance. Worry not, thanks to our newly installed WiFi we'll be livestreaming the ceremony so everyone can join remotely no matter where you are and sing some carols from the warmth and safety of your home. You can access the livestream at http://www.facebook.com/gihonvalleyhall.

Thank you to the wreath makers at Paine’s Christmas Trees in Morrisville and to the community volunteers who help make this annual tradition possible!
