LUMINARY NIGHT IN WELLESLEY
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 14TH, DUSK
On Sunday, December 14, many Wellesley businesses and residents will light luminary candles among our stores, walkways and driveways to celebrate Luminary Night in Wellesley. 1,000 homes and businesses across town will glow in unity as we enjoy this non-denominational holiday celebration and raise money for a worthy Wellesley charitable organization, the Wellesley Friendly Aid Association (WFAA). The WFAA helps our residents who are in emotional or economical turmoil by providing food, medicine, medical equipment, emergency assistance, and other vital services through the Food Pantry, Friendship Circle, Council on Aging, camp programs and more. (Further information about this organization can be found on their website: www.wellesleyfriendlyaid.org.)
Luminary Night in Wellesley is a wonderful opportunity for families of all ages, religions, and backgrounds to come together, enjoy the beautiful sight of the neighboring homes lit up, and donate to a worthy cause. Many people find this a great time to get together with neighbors for a holiday celebration large or small.
The luminary kits will be sold for $15.00 each to residents of a select group of roads (we hope to expand the event town-wide next year). Each kit will contain materials and directions for 12 luminaries. Businesses will start to light their luminaries in the early afternoon of December 14th and the neighborhoods will begin at 5 p.m.
While we hope to include the entire town next year, for this year the participating roads are:
- Alden Road
