LED candles are provided, and the event is free, making it accessible for families of all sizes. Between 6 and 8 p.m., residents move from the Norton real-estate building into the downtown, carrying candles as luminaries, visiting three churches before arriving at a small block party in the center of the historic square. Along the route, attendees enjoy music from First Presbyterian Church, Clarkesville First Methodist Church, and Clarkesville Baptist Church as voices blend outdoors. The experience continues at the square for a reading of the Christmas story, hot chocolate, and fellowship. This special Old World tradition has become part of many families' holiday traditions.
