Description

We're thrilled to announce the return of Light Up the Valley, presented by Visit Luzerne County, happening in Downtown Wilkes-Barre this Thursday, June 13th! This year's event promises even more excitement and festivities as we light up the night alongside Sunsets on SOMA.

In its inaugural year, Light Up The Valley brought together over 500 attendees to honor the top 40 Change Makers in our region who have consistently strived to make the Wyoming Valley a brighter place, through their efforts in diversity, equity, and inclusion; volunteerism; or innovation, as well as additional efforts that improve the overall quality of life in the Wyoming Valley.

Congratulations to the 2024 Change Makers!

Parking:
Let’s start at the beginning…where do you park? Thankfully, our friends at Downtown Wilkes-Barre have got you covered with this informational web page that highlights all parking options for the evening. Check it out here: https://downtownwilkesbarre.org/explore/parking

Food & Restaurants:
We are encouraging all attendees to support local restaurants during this event. A few restaurants have created take-out only options to allow you to get food and get back to the bands in midtown and on Public Square. Restaurants will also have specialty-themed drinks for those who prefer to order from the regular menu and dine in.

More Information: 
The dress code for the evening is casual. You are encouraged to bring lawn chairs to use when you’re not dancing.

The event is FREE and open to the public, so tell your friends! Looking forward to a fun-filled evening!
