ROTARY LIGHTS 2018

 

Our 24th year of Rotary Lights is history. Thank you to all who volunteered to make this community gift a success.  An estimated 160-thousand people visited the holiday display, with food donations expected to be just short of last year's record-breaking 320,000 food items. Crews plan to keep the Riverside Park skating rink open through mid-March if the weather cooperates.

 

On January 1st, hundreds of volunteers showed up to start taking down over 3 million lights and decorations.  Dedicated volunteers have been working all week and will be working through 2019 to fix, store and create displays for Rotary Lights 2019!

 

A committee has already been planning Rotary Lights 2019 - our 25th Anniversary. You will be hearing more about our 25th Rotary Lights Celebration in the coming months.
