Heads up, Humboldt:
While the county's masking mandate has been lifted, Public Health is still strongly recommending masking indoors in public, social distancing and "avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated spaces."
COVID-19 is still with us, so be sure to check the protocols at event venues.
The ceremonies are in one central Eureka location and include presentations from Hospice speakers as
well as live music. Local songstress Shyniesa Currie will sing at the 4 p.m. ceremony and the Arcata
Community Interfaith Gospel Choir will sing at the 7 p.m. ceremony. In addition to the candle lighting
portion of the ceremony there are two “interactive” ways those who attend can participate. Community
members are encouraged to bring a small memento or photo of their loved one to place on the
memorial altar during the ceremony. They are also encouraged to add their loved one’s name to the
Light Up a Life memorial and honoree list which hangs on the wall during the ceremony.
