The Asombro Institute for Science Education will host its annual Luminarias: Light Up the Desert event at the Chihuahuan Desert Nature Park 5-7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 8.
During the event, visitors are encouraged to take a stroll along a paved ADA-accessible trail lit with more than 400 luminarias as the sun sets in the surrounding desert.
The event will include several family-friendly activities, including marshmallow roasting, stargazing through a telescope, and holiday caroling. There will also be light refreshments, including holiday cookies and hot chocolate, available at no cost to visitors. Upon entry, a suggested donation of $5 per person or $10 per family is recommended, though the event is free. Visitors should note parking is limited. Asombro kindly asks attendees bring their patience and willingness to walk.
