Festival of Lights Arts & Crafts Market
The Festival of Light Scholarship Program
Proceeds fund Visual & Performing Arts Lessons for Children
Held annually at the Veterans’ Memorial Hall!
The Festival of Lights provides annual festivity with gifts to buy, a fun Dutch Auction, performances by children, and hot soup lunch and bake sale!
The Festival of Light Art & Fine Crafts market began in 2008 by Pam Yearout and Elizabeth Watson when school budget cuts slashed art and music instruction from Trinity schools. Since then, the Festival of Light has raised funds for a year-round scholarship that pays for art, dance and music instruction for Trinity County children.
Each year, visitors have enjoyed this market in a festively decorated hall alive with music. You may visit our Facebook page to view a list of this years’ vendors.
YOU may apply for funding from the Festival of Light Scholarship - Art, Dance, and Music lessons for your Trinity County child. If you have a favorite instructor, let us know. Applications are available here. Taylor and Danyel Aglipay have taught students for years via Festival of Lights scholarship funds, and their students have performed at the Festival.
“I was excited to play an instrument to learn something new and how to make music. Playing music makes me feel happy.”
“What got me to play music was an interest to play the soundtrack to a movie I liked on the piano. I feel like a scientist at his desk when I’m playing classical music, and I feel satisfied when playing show tune music. ”
