Luminary Stroll to Light the Sidewalks of Needham Sunday

Needham is gearing up for the Luminary Stroll Sunday, Nov. 3 at the Town Common.

This event is to celebrate community. It will take place 4 to 6:30 p.m. Homes throughout town light luminaries and place them along their sidewalks to connect neighbor-to-neighbor and street-to-street. Some neighborhoods in the Highland and Great Plain Avenue areas will even hold block parties. The Town Center will also be illuminated and alive with entertainment, including acrobats, fire jugglers, a magician, the Needham High Dance Team and High School Acapella Group. See the latest light up creation designed by the engineering students at Olin College. Merchants will set up candles and luminaries as well while customers can peruse wares and enjoy refreshments.

The Needham Fire Marshall has approved the use of luminaries in town. Basic precautions for fire safety include clearing leaves and ensuring the bag contains the water/sand weight. Rain date is Sunday, Nov. 10.

Luminary kits can be purchased at Roche Brothers, Sudbury Farms, Taylor’s Stationary, Perennial Design and Center Wine and Spirits.
