Proceeds fund Art & Music Lessons for Children
Festival of Light is all about the children.
It is about art, dance and music.
It is about Holiday festivity with gifts to buy, a fun Dutch Auction, performances by children, hot soup lunch and bake sale!
The Festival of Light Art & Fine Crafts Event was started in 2008 by Pam Yearout and Elizabeth Watson when school budget cuts slashed art and music instruction from Trinity schools. Since that time, the Festival of Light has raised funds for a year-round Scholarship that pays for art, dance and music instruction for Trinity County children.
Each year event goers have enjoyed this event in a festively decorated hall alive with music. making plans to revitalize the event and grow the scholarship program for the future. Stay tuned for updates!
Viva del Arte! May the children thrive!

Taylor and Danyel Aglipay have taught students for years via FOL scholarship funds, and have presented their students for recitals for the annual FOL. Their students speak out. “What got me to play music was an interest to play the soundtrack to a movie I liked on the piano…” said Sunny Martinez. “I feel like a scientist at his desk when I’m playing classical music, and I feel satisfied when playing show tune music.” Beatrice says “I was excited to play an instrument to learn something new and how to make music. Playing music makes me feel happy.”
