Luminaries
- Saturday, December 13
- 6 pm to 9 pm
During the evening of each second Saturday in December, neighborhoods are encouraged to display luminaries from dusk until 9 p.m. The city sets the date, but each Homeowner Association plans the details. For safety, please consider using glow sticks or flameless candles. In the event of rain or inclement weather, the luminary date will be the second Sunday of December (the 15th). Each neighborhood, usually through its Homeowners Association, makes the final decision on luminary postponement.
Ravenswood Mansion at Christmas
The Ravenswood Mansion, located on 1825 Wilson Pike, will be lit up for the holidays starting the first week of December. Consider using this City owned venue for a small holiday gathering or the perfect spot for outdoor photos. Inquiries about booking and other information can be found on the website at www.ravenswoodmansion.com.
