CANDLE LIGHT WALK, CAROLING, AND OTHER HOLIDAY TREATS
Luminares have been the centerpiece of our winter holiday festivities for many years. In this special Chapin Park
tradition, the neighborhood takes on a special glow
at dusk as the sidewalks are lined with luminaries. After a stroll through
the neighborhood, neighbors gather at the corner of
Manitou and Park for caroling, hot chocolate, and a visit
from Santa Claus! Some years, the festivities also include a historic Carriage Ride through the neighborhood, and the opportunity to purchase the annual commemorative Chapin Park holiday ornament.
Check out a poem written about the 2004 festivities.
