- **Event Description**: On December 18, 2021 at 4:00 pm in the Rotunda of the Stephens Performing Arts Center, the Pocatello Unitarian Universalist Fellowship (UUs) will present the 33rd Annual Festival of Lights, a celebration of holiday traditions from around the world.

The partner organization for this year's Festival of Lights is the​ ​Idaho Food Bank. ​Cash donations are welcome, but please no food items. 

The program will have tributes to many different winter holiday celebrations, starting with the period when the Puritans banned Christmas because they thought it was “wicked and pagan,” to the gradual rediscovery of the festivals of Yule and Saturnalia. There will also be samples of stories from Jewish, Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, and Native American responses to midwinter. The readings will highlight contributions of various Unitarian Universalists throughout history, from Charles Dickens, to Fannie Farmer (of cookbook fame), to Dr. Seuss, and stories that have become treasured traditions year after year. 

There will be a quartet of singers, piano and guitar pieces, and carols. At the end of the Festival, timed just as the sun sets, all those present will light electric candles, and be ushered to a coffee and tea reception to greet the holiday season with cheer and community.
