Get ready for a fun and festive holiday-themed event, where you will be able to blend your own scents to create a lovely festive candle. Professional candle artist Kayla Brown of Fire Doll Studio will lead you through a magical candle making journey that includes a fun variety of holiday scents to choose from. She will also provide some fun history, science, and techniques, along with her expertise as you make your own! Materials will be provided — including an apron — but dress accordingly, as we cannot guarantee you won’t end up with a little wax on your clothes.

NOTE: Your candle will require two hours of cure time, so will need to be picked up the next day; or it can be shipped to you for a fee of $8.

Teens, join us for a selfie scavenger hunt through Allerton’s Holiday GLOW!

Gather a group of friends to create a team of 2-5 and race against other teams to snap photos of all the clues.  The first team back with photos of every clue will earn the ultimate bragging rights – being crowned the Allerton GLOW Getter!

Tickets are FREE for kids aged 13-18.  Parents are welcome to tag along but can also take a solo GLOW walk if desired.  Moon Bean Coffee truck will be on-site serving hot beverages (it’s cocoa season)!  The hunt will happen rain or shine so prepare for the weather and bring your own flashlight and a camera or phone.

Posting pictures on social media is not required, but if you post, we’d love for you to use #GLOWGetter to light up the Allerton Instagram feed.

If you require disability accommodations to participate in the event, please contact Sarah Putman at sputman2@illinois.edu at the time of registration.

Want to add a little adventure to your Holiday GLOW experience?  Sign up today to participate in the GLOW All-Ages Scavenger Hunt starting December 15th.

Registration is FREE for the GLOW All-Ages Scavenger Hunt.  On December 15th a set of clues will be emailed to all registrants.  Use those clues at Allerton’s Holiday GLOW lighted walk any day between December 15th and 23rd from 5-9pm.  Post your pictures on Instagram with #AllGLOWnup.
