LIGHT[the]HILL: A Luminaria Celebration 2026

Our annual LIGHT[the]HILL luminaria celebration will be held once again Sat., November 7 at Kershaw Park in Canandaigua. (Rain/Snow Date: Saturday November 14th). Last year we had almost 2,500 luminarias lit in memory or in honor of loved ones, bringing Kershaw Park to life! The light of each candle illuminates a loving spirit, contributing to the quiet splendor of this special event.
You can support LIGHT[the]HILL by purchasing a luminaria(s) in memory or in honor of a loved one. Each individual luminaria is $12; Group packages of 12 or 24 can be purchased at a discount! Orders must be received by October 31st. If you miss this deadline, you are always welcome to join us at our event and purchase luminarias that night, but we cannot accept late orders in order to organize the event. Light Hill volunteers create, personalize, place and light each luminaria. Community members are invited to join us at Kershaw Park between 5:30 - 8:00pm that evening to share in a celebration of hope. Be Still, Remember and Stroll...
LIGHT[the]HILL takes place during National Hospice and Palliative Care Month. Your support by spreading the word or purchasing luminarias will light the way for our mission, caring for others at a profound time in one’s life.
Want to volunteer to help us set up or take down this amazing event? Many hands make light work when it comes to such a feat. We need volunteers to help organize names, pull carts, place luminaries, light candles and then re-organize everything afterward! If you'd be interested in helping, please contact MK [email protected] or (585) 393-1311.
