Join us for the inaugural “Hope Lights the Night” Luminary Event, on Tuesday, April 2nd from 5pm – 8pm at the Holiday Harbor in Canyon Lake. This luminary celebration is hosted by the Canyon Lake Mermaid Club and Michelle’s Place Cancer Resource Center.
We will gather to honor the cherished friends and family who illuminate our lives with love and laughter and to remember those who have gone before us. “Hope Lights the Night” celebrates friendship, family, resilience, and support that moves us through life’s darkest moments, illuminating our paths to joy and hope.
Activities during the event will include decoration & display of luminary lights & bags, a moment of silence to remember loved ones we have lost, a champagne/sparkling cider toast, live music, and a “Wall of Hope” displaying the names of friends and family being honored and remembered. Food will be available for purchase from on-site food trucks.
The lighting of the luminaries will take place at sunset.

Bill and Marilyn Watson, Founders and Michelle’s parents share “Our daughter Michelle loved life and lived her days joyfully and filled with hope and positivity. This “Hope Lights the Night” is an idea we had, to gather the community, provide an opportunity to share our unique stories, celebrate our loved ones, honor those we’ve lost, and illuminate the lives of those who have touched our hearts. An event that represents hope, joy and positivity in all of us.”
