COMING UP:
LUMINARIA WALK
This year's walk will be from the Caboose to Giant Springs Road on Friday, August 22. In 1993 the Luminaria Walk began with 200 Luminarias lighting the trail near the caboose as the first annual Luminaria Walk sponsored by the River’s Edge Trail. Today the goal of the Luminaria Walk remains the same, to celebrate the world-class trail we have here in Great Falls, Montana. This is a free, family-friendly event for the community. There will be food and music along the trail to enjoy. If you would like to share your music along the trail, sell drinks or food, help place luminarias on the trail or fill all 1500 bags with sand, please call Becky at 899-8642 for various volunteer opportunities.
