It is a special Old World tradition that many families have now made part of their tradition. The Clarkesville Candlelight Walk is returning on Monday, Dec. 23.
Starting at Norton Realty and walking to the town square, participants will stop at churches to sing carols, share stories, and bask in the warmth of the holiday’s glow.
You will be filled with the rich history of our ancestors, who probably walked a similar path in their day and reminded of the reason for the season —celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.
Participants are encouraged to dress warmly for the leisurely stroll up Washington Street to Clarkesville Square on the eve of Christmas Eve. LED candles will be provided. The event is free.
The Clarkesville Candlelight Walk will depart from the historic Burns-Sutton House (now Norton Realty) at 855 Washington Street at 6 p.m. and return around 8 p.m.
“We will serve hot chocolate and marshmallows around a firepit on the Square – weather permitting. The North Habersham Middle School Choir will sing for us. It will be a night to remember,” says Clarkesville Main Street Director Colby Moore.
The Reverend Michelle Fritch of Grace-Calvary Episcopal Church will read the Christmas Story from the Bible.
This event is perfect for all ages and is a beloved holiday tradition. Bring your friends and family for an unforgettable night of cheer and holiday magic!
