The fourth annual Beacon Spring Celebration of Light is a free and open evening event celebrating the coming spring, lunar new year, light, hope, warmth, renewal and kids! Everyone is welcome! 2025 is the Year of the Wood Snake, and this year's celebration will feature a handmade snake-themed giant lantern. 

The event begins at 5:30 p.m. with a lantern-filled parade from Polhill Park down Main Street accompanied by the Street Beat Brass Band, the Beacon Bike Coalition with decked out bicycles, and many local businesses with their personalized lanterns. The parade concludes at The Yard (4 Hanna Lane), where the party continues with tunes by DJ John Giunta, a sendoff of last year’s dragon lantern, and a welcoming for this year’s snake lantern. DayDream Collaborative Clinic will be hosting an area for healing and reflection. Barb’s Butchery will be providing their famous sandwiches; vegetarian sides will be available. Hot ginger tea and water will be available for free as well as adult beverages for purchase from The Yard.
