2nd Annual - Dia de las Velitas

Culturx presents our second annual Dia de Las Velitas celebrations in London, Ontario!

On the evening of the 7th, families and friends gather to light candles and lanterns at home, in parks, shopping centers, and offices all over the city. The lighting of the candles (velitas) symbolizes the wishes we ask for ourselves and our family. It is a moment to reflect, give thanks, and think about our first wishes of the Christmas festivities .

We invite you to come enjoy music, our farolitos display, light a candle and if you are able to, please consider bringing a donation; we will be collecting winter clothing for those needing extra help this winter.

• Socks

• Coats

• Gloves

• Hats

• Sweaters

The origin of this celebration is religious but as Culturx we wish to celebrate the tradition to bring our community together no matter what your faith or beliefs might be. All are welcome and invited to spend time in community!

Please dress warmly as this is an outdoor event, we will have heaters available but we strongly encourage you bring appropriate weather gear for this days festivities!

Location: 137 Dundas St.
