The Annual Light Parade

The East Lyme Community celebrates the end-of-the-year holidays with its Annual Light Parade. 

Visitors and townspeople alike bundle against the cold, shelter from the rain, or revel in unseasonal balmy evenings, as they stand street-side or sit in their place-holding chairs arranged since early morning, 

Care & Share has eagerly taken part to ensure the community knows of its mission and to thank everyone  for their support -- initially concentrated around the winter and spring holiday seasons.  Each year's theme reflects a moment in C&S growth. Float-building always provides many moments of camaraderie among volunteers and creates cherished memories.
