Candlelight Christmas Carols
The 4th Annual Candlelight Christmas Carols at Cambier Park will be held on Friday. Last year we had over 500 carolers, illuminating the park with candles, singing popular Christmas carols led by local musicians. It is a joyful and fun occasion for couples, families, and anyone interested in enjoying the sounds of the season. The event is FREE and open to all who wish to participate regardless of religious affiliation. Lyric sheets and electric candles will be provided free of charge. Schedule: 5:30 PM Pre Caroling, Food and Beverages; 6:30 – 8 PM Caroling.
