Participants purchased small outdoor solar lights provided by the committee to place on their loved ones’ grave. By the end of the event, the cemetery was lined with lights in remembrance of those who have passed away.
The ceremony was one of several events hosted as part of the 25th annual Christmas Town Festival.
