DETAILS

Join us for this special community event, presented by Olthof Funeral Home, to honor the memory of loved ones lost while celebrating the gift of life! This year, we'll gather at the Hilliard Family Stage in Eldridge Park to fill the night with both light and music—illuminating the evening with glowing luminaries that symbolize the love and memories of those we hold dear and lifting spirits with live rock music from the Due South Band. Luminaries may be reserved for $10 each to decorate and personalize in tribute to your loved one. Together, we’ll reflect, remember, and then celebrate—creating new memories with family, friends, and neighbors. Whether you come seeking solace, connection, or joy, this gathering offers a meaningful way to honor the past while embracing the present. Come early, bring your lawn chairs, and enjoy a powerful mix of reflection and celebration. - - - - - - - - - Thanks to the generosity of Olthof Funeral Home, sponsorships are available for individuals or families who may not be able to afford a luminary (limit 2 per family). To request a sponsored luminary, please reach out to GriefSupport@carefirstny.org.
