(KNZA)--The 28th annual Horton Christmas Luminarias will take place Sunday evening, December 2.

The event, sponsored by the South Brown County Ministerial Alliance, will be held from 5:30 to 7:30.

The Luminarias transforms ten city blocks, beginning at 14th and Central Avenue, into living, dramatic scenes of the life of Christ.  Men, women and children of the area take their place as Biblical characters in a setting of live animals, colorful props, costumes and music.  The atmosphere is enhanced by 13-hundred glowing candles outlining the route from scene to scene.

Those who don’t wish to drive the route, may board a free shuttle at Jim’s Thriftway.

The event, also known as the “ Festival of Lights”, draws hundreds of vehicles each year.  

The event is free but a donation may be dropped in a receptable at the end of the route to support the South Brown County Ministerial Association’s benevolence outreach.
