Tips & Advice
- Watch for luminary kit purchase details before deciding how to participate; the organizers have not yet released this season's instructions.
- Join Riverside Avondale Preservation's newsletter for road-closure notices and neighborhood updates before heading into the district.
- Choose comfortable walking shoes because the candlelit event takes place throughout the historic district and may involve getting around on foot.
- Dress for an outdoor December evening, as the event illuminates the neighborhood rather than taking place in an indoor venue.
