Additional Information

Since 1976, St. Mark’s Lutheran Church has hosted the St. Lucia Festival. All are welcome for this free and meaningful event that celebrates the best things of Christmas: community, light, family, children, and good food. We share an invitation to our community to consider making a St. Lucia performance part of your 2017 Christmas experience.

The story of Lucia, the symbol of light amid the darkness of winter in Sweden, has many different versions. Legend says that Lucia brought food to people who were dying of hunger during a famine. Today, it is one of the high points of the Christmas season and candles are lit all over Sweden to bear light against the darkness.

This year's 42nd Annual festival performances will be two nights only: Friday, December 8th at 7pm and Saturday, December 9th at 7pm. Freewill donations will be given to Hungry Hearts and Lifescape’s lunch fund. These local charities provide lunches for school children in need and to individuals with disabilities.
