The annual Pathway of Lights will be held at Greenlake this Saturday, the 8th of December.

The path around the lake will be lined with thousands of luminaries from 4:30 to 7:30 pm. Weather permitting, a balloon glow will also be there from 4:30 to 5:30. (Inflated and lit hot air balloons.)

There will be complimentary refreshments, and live music will be performed at the Community Center, Small Craft Center, and Bathhouse Theater.

The event is free, but participants are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items to donate.
