Luminary Walk

Embark on a truly meaningful journey at the Luminary Walk, set for Friday, May 8, 2026, in scenic Green Bay, WI. This poignant 1.5-mile event, hosted by Unity Hospice at Heritage Hill State Historical Park, offers a serene and inspiring experience. As dusk settles, glowing luminaries will illuminate a paved pathway, guiding walkers through the beautiful 56-acre park. This annual walk serves as Unity's cornerstone fundraiser for its Grief and Education Center, providing essential, no-cost grief support services to individuals and families throughout Northeast Wisconsin. Participants are invited to walk in honor of loved ones, creating a powerful atmosphere of remembrance and community support.

The evening's program begins with registration and t-shirt pick-up at 7:00 pm, followed by a special inspirational program at 8:15 pm, with the walk commencing promptly at 8:30 pm. Prior to the walk, engage in pre-walk activities that include personalizing commemorative t-shirts, browsing raffle baskets, and interacting with Unity's certified Paws of Comfort therapy dogs, all set to the backdrop of DJ music overlooking the state park. The 1.5-mile course is entirely paved and wheelchair accessible, with a tram also available for those who prefer it, ensuring everyone can partake in this moving experience.

Typical race day conditions in early May often bring pleasant highs around 65°F and lows around 44°F, with a relatively low 14% chance of precipitation, creating ideal conditions for an evening stroll. The Luminary Walk is more than just an event; it's a "celebration of hope" and a testament to enduring love, fostering connection among those who are grieving and those who wish to support them. Join this cherished Green Bay tradition and contribute to a vital cause while experiencing a peaceful and memorable night.
