Aisle of Lights


See how thousands of white paper sacks, each filled with sand and a votive candle, create a magical scene on a winter evening! Miles of luminarias are available for viewing by foot or car.

Area businesses and organizations host a merry day of activities for all ages, and then participating residents and businesses light luminarias to burn in the evening. Coralville’s annual Aisle of Lights luminaria display began in 1980. 

Sunday, December 10, 2017


Light luminarias on Sunday from 5:00 to 9:00 pm. Other activities take place throughout the day and evening (see "Events" below).
