The Festival of Lights is taking place in downtown Greensboro tonight from 6:00- 9:00 p.m. As you can see on the light post in front of the Green Bean Coffee Shop on South Elm Street, the town is decorated in wreaths, lights, and bows. Merchants, galleries, performers, and independent vendors have been working diligently to be ready for one of Greensboro's largest, free street festivals of the year.
Tonight's celebration is the beginning of many fabulous events being held in the month of December. This is the 25th year of the Festival of Lights. The tree lighting ceremony will be held in Center City Park. There will be a photo booth, a visit from Santa, and so much more. But the most fun of all will be to experience the great sense of community, of people from all walks of life coming together to be joyful and make merry during one of the darkest months of the year. The man in the yellow sweater reminds us all to wear some type of festive garb. Just like those famous parades on 5th Avenue in NYC, remember, if you come downtown tonight, you will not just be there to observe, you will actually be part of the great parade of people. Plan your outfit wisely Rumor has it, people wearing antler headbands have the most fun. Please plan to come out and have fun, too.
Enjoy it!
Great shade of green on the shop.
