About this Event

For women who want to shine a light on safety in public spaces — come and join us for an evening of reflection, community, and shared action.

Together, we’ll lay candles along the paths of Castle Park, illuminating the darkness and highlighting how poorly lit spaces put women at greater risk. Afterward, we’ll gather to hear music and poetry from local women, creating a space of warmth, creativity, and solidarity.

This event invites us to be visible, to stand together, and to call attention to the realities women face after dark in our city.

What to Expect:

🎶 Music and poetry from local women
💬 Time to connect and share experiences

Candles provided — just bring yourself and a warm layer.

Let’s light the paths, raise awareness, and create change together.
