Pictured: Wellen Park's Luminescence Festival celebrates an evening of illumination and music on Saturday, Jan. 4

Wellen Park rings in 2025 all aglow during the second annual Luminescence Festival Saturday, Jan. 4 in Downtown Wellen. The illuminating event, from 6 to 10 p.m., will include live music, hundreds of luminaries lighting the way along the Grand Lake and vibrant projection art displays upon sunset.
“We invite the community to celebrate the new year with us and light a luminary in remembrance of loved ones or to share wishes for the coming year,” said Christine Masney, vice president of marketing for Wellen Park. “Participants will have the opportunity to personalize their luminaries before they’re placed around the lake.” Advanced reservations are required for luminaries. Festival-goers who plan to decorate one can reserve their luminary by visiting wellenpark.com/events/luminescence-festival-2.
