Description
Tesoro Cultural Center celebrates its southwestern tradition of lighting the farolitos (paper lanterns). The event is free and open to the public. The festivities usher in the holiday season and honor a member of the community who has enlightened the minds and souls of others. Enjoy complimentary hot-spiced apple cider, coffee and biscochitos (bite-sized cinnamon-anise cookies) and seasonal music. All guests are invited to join in the traditional pinecone ceremony and write the name of someone he/she wishes to remember on a slip of paper and tuck it into the cone. At the conclusion of the evening, the pinecones are placed in the courtyard campfire. The resulting glimmers of light and bright fire glide upwards, carrying the messages into the sky.
