Cultural Displays: One Coralville, Bright Future (part of Aisle of Lights)
Sunday, December 11, 2022
Diversity in our community helps make Coralville home! Whether you celebrate Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, or the snowy season, you can sign up to host a cultural display in S.T. Morrison Park during Aisle of Lights, or take a stroll through the park to see the displays and celebrate our unity in Coralville.
The City of Coralville is looking for people/organizations to set up displays in S.T. Morrison Park during Aisle of Lights to celebrate our unity in Coralville during the season of lights. The displays will be along the path from Fireside Shelter to Hilltop Shelter. We'll share our cultures, and engage in conversations in the park around the beauty of the luminarias and cultural displays.
