2026 Luminary Hike

Join us for the 2026 Luminary Hike, a captivating winter evening where the beauty of light, ice, and community come together. Guests are invited to stroll along a clear, safe, hard path trail that is a three-quarter–mile loop within Unity Park at East Lake Winona. The hike is designed for all ages to enjoy at their own pace. As you walk, prepare to be amazed by a majestic wall of ice at the Winona Ice Park that will illuminate the night sky in brilliant, shifting colors—a spectacle that is sure to bring the winter season to life.

The YMCA is proud to be an in-kind sponsor and host for this special event, offering warm hospitality and support. Cozy up with complimentary hot chocolate and cookies, or grab a delicious meal from one of our featured food trucks: Chef’s Table and Lino’s Taqueria Food Truck. Indoor seating will be available at the YMCA, providing a comfortable place to relax and savor your food with friends and family before or after hitting the Luminary Trail.

Come experience winter in a whole new light at the Recreation Alliance Luminary Hike 2026, a magical night you won’t want to miss. This event is free and open the public.
