Luminaries

2024

​Brookfield’s Luminaries Committee continues the annual tradition of lighting up the night on Christmas Eve (Tuesday, December 24th) with approximately 1,700 luminaries placed around the center of town.

 

In the event of inclement weather, an automated call and social media notifications will go out to the community, and the rain date will be New Year’s Eve (December 31st), weather permitting.

 

If you’d like to help with the luminaries, come to either 18 Common Street (Library Annex) or 15 River Street (Masuzzo & Rector household) any time after 12:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve.

 

You can also bring this tradition home with you (and help fund this event), by purchasing your own luminaries for display.

 

Luminaries are for sale at the Brookfield Merrick Public Library and Tip Top Country Store, and are $5.00 for a set of 6 bags & candles.
