The Festival of Lights last night in downtown Greensboro did not disappoint. People came out to celebrate in droves and the drizzle did not dampen the festivities. From LeBauer and Center City Park on North Elm to Gate City Boulevard and South Elm, businesses were open and people were strolling along the streets. The above photo features a trio of carolers in LeBauer Park with the Janet Echelman's 95 by 65 foot aerial sculpture as a backdrop. This is the second iteration of her "Where We Met" sculpture that continues to light up the night sky over the park.
Last night, there was plenty of entertainment in LeBauer Park, including a holiday market and an ice skating rink. The park remained busy even after the tree lighting took place just before 7:00 pm. Performers entertained everyone until the event drew to a close at 9:00 pm. Here is a link listing many of the performers throughout the night. December, the month with the least amount of daylight in the northern hemisphere, is a time when to work a little harder to bring light into the lives of each other. Last night was just such an event. Will we see you at the parade today?
Happy Saturday!
