Worldwide Candle Lighting - honors all children that have died too soon
6:30 PM
Join with a caring community to remember children, grandchildren and siblings in a special gathering, which includes music, inspirational readings and messages of hope. This event is part of the 18th Annual Compassionate Friends Worldwide Candle Lighting believed to be the largest mass candle lighting event.

At 7 p.m., we will light candles to join the circle of light as it passes through each time zone encircling the globe to honor the memory of children who were the light of so many lives. Family and friends are invited to share in this time of healing and hope. Afterwards, share time together with refreshments, a memory wall and, weather permitting, the release of candle lanterns so that the light of our children will always shine.

The event is free and open to all regardless of faith or no faith background.
