Thorpe luminaria walk dedicated to Lynn Highland

This Valentine’s weekend, bundle up with someone you love and stroll, shop, and dine along the beautiful candlelit streets of Jim Thorpe.

On Saturday, luminarias will be placed leading from Josiah White Park (the train station) up both Broadway and Race Streets to the Opera House from 5-8 p.m.

This year’s luminaria event is dedicated to Lynn Highland, who tragically lost her life in a house fire last year.

Highland was a friend to many and she could regularly be seen dancing at the front of the crowd at a concert or even performing onstage acting in short plays.

She loved her family and friends fiercely, and shared her creative and compassionate spirit with all who knew her.

Highland loved her little mountain town and often paused to appreciate and share the beauty, wishing all who were fortunate enough to enjoy a good evening from Jim Thorpe.

There will be approximately two dozen shops, restaurants, and wineries open for the evening.
