1st Annual Merry & Bright Festival of Light 2025

Get ready to get lit and kick off the holiday season with the 1st annual Merry & Bright Festival of Light in Woodlands Park from 6-8PM!

We are planning a fun evening that includes a DJ and a tree lighting countdown with our very own Mayor Jean Toner!

There will be cocoa, cookies and caroling too!

"Soup" Up Santa's Sleigh!

While this is a FREE event for the entire St. James community and NO ticket is required, we will be accepting HEARTY canned soup donations (such as Campbell's Chunky or Progresso) to "SOUP" up Santa's Sleigh!

Please NO tomato or chicken noodle as the SOIICF Food Pantry already purchases these types for distribution.

All soup collected will be donated to the SOIICF Food Pantry.

Check back for other surprises in the works now!

NOTE: THIS IS A RAIN OR SHINE EVENT!
