Upcoming Events in the Neighborhood: Luminary Festival at Langford Park
If you are seeking peace, restoration, and community–consider attending the St. Anthony Park Luminary Festival, which is held at Langford Park on the weekend of Valentine’s Day.
The Luminary Festival is a beautiful event centered on community. Please join us as we come together to bring light into darkness. Through glowing displays, warm company, and shared hopes for a peaceful world, we create a weekend filled with meaning, connection, and collective care.
Below, please find the schedule for our “main day”, which is Saturday, February 14th, 2026. Please know that the luminary paths and installations will be present that weekend on both Friday and Sunday nights. There is also a lantern building event for all ages from 2-4pm on Saturday, February 7th at the St. Anthony Park Branch Library.
Our home organization is the St. Anthony Park Branch Library Association (SAPBLA). This is my second year on the planning committee, so please let me know if you are interested in participating by preparing ice luminaries for the paths or with set up or take down after the event.
Take a look below at our photographs from last year, as well as a beautiful illustration of the ice rinks during the family skate last year by SAP neighbor and artist, Libby Bauer.
