The holiday season is quickly approaching, and ECHO would love to continue a holiday tradition with all of you! Please join us in welcoming the New Year by lining the streets of our neighborhood with luminarias once again on Friday, December 31.
Each luminaria consists of a tea light placed in 2-3 inches of sand inside a white paper bag. (See photo below.) Participating families line the street in front of their house on New Year’s Eve with one luminaria at the edge of each sidewalk square and everyone lights their luminaria at 6:45 pm. (For those with brick or no sidewalk, the rule of thumb is to place the luminaria 5 feet apart.) Given our unpredictable weather on New Year’s Eve, the best luminarias use a plastic insert inside the paper bag and a battery-operated tea light. That way, you don’t have to worry about lighting candles and keeping them lit, or your bag collapsing into a wet mess on the sidewalk, no matter whether it rains, snows, or is just very cold and windy.
Place your order online below! You can also order using our printable order form.
NOTE: Kits are sold in lots of 10 (i.e. quantity 1 is for 10 luminaria kits). Sand or cat litter to weigh down the bags is not included with your order. Bags of sand can be purchased at Ace Hardware.
