Lights of Life
The Lights of Life tree is a bright, colorful, and joyful tree for all to see during the holidays in remembrance of family, friends, and members of our community whose memory shines in our hearts.
Harry Hynes Memorial Hospice is excited to bring back Wichita’s tallest holiday tree- the Lights of Life! Starting in November, the Lights of Life tree will brightly stand over 80 feet tall (the largest holiday tree in Wichita!) and illuminate downtown Wichita with over 3,200 festive lights.
A Lights of Life tree will shine brightly in Pittsburg, Oswego, Coffeyville, and Parsons.
All of this is done to celebrate the holidays and in remembrance of family, friends, and members of our community whose memory shines brightly in our hearts.
Celebrate the life of someone you love this holiday season.
Support for the Lights of Life assists us in our mission enabling people to live with dignity and hope while coping with loss and terminal illness.
This outdoor event will include festive holiday music, refreshments, a brief welcome, a reflection in memory of each light that shines in memory of a loved one, and of course, the impressive moment when the tree is lit for the first time this season. Each Lights of Life tree with have an official tree lighting and remembrance ceremony. Specific days and locations will be shared closer to the event date.
The Lights of Life will glow all holiday season so our community can drive by and visit at any time.
