Holiday Lights (Luminarias, which are candles in paper bags) in Barton Hills Return December 22 to 24, 6-9 pm, Briargrove Drive

Thanks to the wonderful dedication of John Luther and his Briargrove neighbors, we will renew a beautiful tradition in Barton Hills for the holidays this year. Briargrove Drive (off of Barton Hills Drive just south of the Barton Hills Market) will be transformed by luminarias into a glorious community of lights. The luminarias will be on display from 6:00 to 9:00 pm, December 22 to December 24. Walking and fellowship are encouraged; please park your cars outside of Briargrove and enjoy the lights with a walk in the clear night air.

To help celebrate the return of this luminous tradition, we will have caroling and hot chocolate the first night, Wednesday, December 22, from 6:30 to 7:30. Neighborhood Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts will help lead the chorus, strolling house to house. Long before the Trail of Lights in Zilker Park, Barton Hills? holiday lights were a much-anticipated annual celebration and this year will inspire an even greater celebration of luminarias next year. A special thank you to Sun Harvest and Walgreens for their generous support.

So please mark your calendars for this holiday cheer. Bring your friends and neighbors, especially for the first night celebration.

Look forward to seeing you there.
