Description
2020 Memorial Illumination Canceled
In consultation with our partners, community groups, volunteer leaders and public health officials, Antietam National Battlefield has made the difficult decision to cancel the 32nd Annual Memorial Illumination previously scheduled for Saturday, December 5. This complex event requires approximately 1,000 experienced volunteers to build, transport, place, and remove 23,000 luminaries, working together over multiple days. Public health concerns, as well as the lead time needed to plan and execute this event, led the National Park Service and our partners to this mutual decision.
