Status: Archived This event is to honor our fallen soldiers. Luminaries for loved ones can be purchased now through Memorial Day, names given at time of purchase will be written on purchaser’s luminary and day of all luminaries will be placed in our Camp Lawton field. At 7:30 PM we will have a lighting ceremony and leave luminaries lit throughout the weekend.
Park staff (or purchaser) will write the name of their loved one on the luminary. Those present for ceremony are welcome to set up and light their own luminaries as well as assist with lighting others. If those who purchased luminaries would like to take theirs home as a keepsake, they are welcome to retrieve it on Sunday or Monday prior to staff removal on Tuesday. The Memorial Day Event at 7:30 on the 29th is free to all who wish to attend, and all are welcome to walk through the field and view the luminaries any time they wish between 7:00 AM and 10:00 PM throughout the weekend.
