Candlefest in Guilford County

Troops have gathered in December for many years to present Candlefest at several parks in Guilford County as a service project and gift to the community. Candlefest is a display of thousands of luminaries lining pathways and roadways within the parks. The public may visit from 6 to 9 p.m. The event is free except for the “payment” of canned food that the Girl Scouts then delivery to local food banks. Each year, the public supports not only the Girl Scouts but also the hungry in our area by donating thousands of pounds of food.

Candlefest will be held on the following evenings at these locations:

Dec. 5 – the Greensboro Arboretum and High Point’s City Lake Park (Jamestown).

Dec. 12 – Greensboro’s Country Park and Hagan-Stone Park.

Troops that want to participate by assembling luminaries or performing other duties should contact their service unit manager.
