DIA DE LAS VELITAS 2021

Written By Culturx London
 
 

Culturx presents the very first ever Dia de Las Velitas celebrations in London, Ontario!

On the evening of the 7th, families and friends gather to light candles and lanterns at home, in parks, shopping centers, and offices all over the city. The lighting of the candles (velitas) symbolizes the wishes we ask for ourselves and our family. It is a moment to reflect, give thanks, and think about our first wishes of the Christmas festivities.

We invite you to come enjoy some free hot chocolate, music, our candle display and if you are able to, please consider bringing a donation; we will be collecting winter clothing for those needing extra help this winter.

  • Socks

  • Coats

  • Gloves

  • Hats

  • Sweaters

The origin of this celebration is religious but as Culturx we wish to celebrate the tradition to bring our community together no matter what your faith or beliefs might be.
