With the City Hall courtyard illuminated by candle light, the Festival of Lights brings inspiration and holiday cheer to the Frederick community. Starting at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, December 19th, groups of carolers will proceed through Frederick’s historic district, making their way to the City Hall courtyard for a brief closing ceremony. The closing ceremony features classic holiday carols by the Evangelical Lutheran Church Children’s Choirs and an inspirational message by Katherine Heflin, Associate Pastor of Calvary United Methodist Church. Everyone in attendance will receive a candle and song sheet. You don’t want to miss the finale, as one candle is lit, then passed through the crowd until the entire courtyard is filled with light. It is truly a great way to celebrate the holidays. This magnificent program is brought to you by Celebrate Frederick, Inc.
