Description

We're thrilled to announce the return of Light Up the Valley, now in its second year, 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.
