13 festive humanists, including a few new friends, gathered at James Island County Park on November 11, 2026 for the Festival of Lights Fun Walk. This was our third year participating in the walk, and it is becoming an SHL tradition as a fun way to kick off the holiday season!
While waiting for the walk to start we enjoyed hanging out in the festival area, and making s’mores. Our light-up balloons were a big hit for the second year. Their primary purpose is to help everyone find the group, and then keep the group together amid the crowds during, but the way they reflect and refract all the pretty lights also attracted plenty of attention. Many people wanted to know where they could get one. At the end of the walk, we gave them all away to some delighted children.
A fun evening filled with colorful lights, good company, and a little pre-holiday cheer!
