27th Annual Ice Candle Festival of Lights

27th Annual Festival of Lights

On December 24, the Lake of the Woods Cemetery becomes a brilliant wonder of light from the thousands of ice candles placed on the graves of our loved ones.

Gather at the Memory Board at 11:00 a.m. for the Festival of Lights service and carolling, followed by the lighting of the candles at 11:30 a.m.

We need your help to light candles on Christmas Eve. If you want to be part of this beautiful tradition, please contact the Cemetery Office to sign up at 807-467-2067 or Y2VtZXRlcnkgfCBrZW5vcmEgISBjYQ==. Leave a message with your contact information and the number of people in your group. Students, this is an excellent opportunity to earn volunteer hours.

Our heartfelt thanks to the community for supporting this tradition once again. Your purchase of ice candles supports the beautification and maintenance of the Cemetery throughout the year.

We would like to thank Kenora’s Canadian Tire for their long standing sponsorship of the ice candle program.
