Luminaria Walk returns to Veteran Acres Park

A candle is lit inside a milk jug at the start of the Holiday Night Hike at Veteran Acres Park on Friday, Dec. 4, 2020 in Crystal Lake.  The event was rebranded from a one-night "Luminaria Walk" event to a 6-night "Holiday Night Hike" to allow for better social distancing to avoid a crowded one-night event.

The free Luminaria Walk remains available at Veteran Acres Park until Dec. 3, the Crystal Lake Park District said.

The trial is open to walkers 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. each day until Dec. 2, and an event with campfires, a visit from Mrs. Claus, Christmas carolers, hot cocoa and a candy cane forest will be held 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Dec. 3, beginning at the picnic shelter.

The 3/4-mile trail is a mixture of paved, gravel and grassy surfaces. A low mobility trail and map are also available at crystallakeparks.org/special-events.

Advance registration is not required for this free event, though a donation of $1 per person or $5 per family is not requested and would be used to help fund future Nature Center programs.
