The Shelbyville luminary or candlelight walk has been going on for ten years now and coordinator Bob Niestradt is excited for what this year brings. The walk this year will be held on February 20th. 

There is a lot of work that goes into coordinating everything, but Niestradt looks forward to it every year. The walk is being held later than usual due to COVID. Niestradt says a lot of it couldn’t be done without the dive team.

Niestradt confirmed there will be ice globes and hanging luminaries in the trees but there will be some changes this year due to COVID-19. 

The event will be held on February 20th at General Dacey Trail Head in Forest Park from 6:30 to 8:30 PM. Bob Niestradt appeared as a guest on the NEWSTALK WTIM morning show live from our downtown studios in Shelbyville.
