Help keep the path flowing and help capture all the magical memories at this year's Aullwood Winter Luminary Walk! As we prepare for another magical Aullwood Winter Luminary Walk, we're counting on volunteers to help ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for all guests. One key role this year is guiding visitors to the designated photo station which will be set up beside the pathway and helping to capture their memories by assisting with taking photos. This helps prevent traffic jams and keeps the flow of foot traffic moving along the lit trail while providing them with a memento of the evening they will be able to share and cherish.
