While many see Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a day off, we see it as a "day on." It's an opportunity to start your year in the spirit of volunteerism and service, continuing the legacy Dr. King, who spent his life working to better the lives of others.
Join us in making #MLKDay a day "on" by participating in one or more of these volunteer opportunities happening in Napa County during the month of January:
Napa Lighted Art Festival / Art After Dark
The Napa Lighted Art Festival is a celebration of creative arts, technology, lights, and supports innovative techniques using light and light technologies as a growing art medium.
This walkable outdoor experience is FREE in Downtown Napa. In 2022 we will feature 8 lighted art sculptures for 8 weeks. Bring the family and experience the magic of the Napa Lighted Art Festival!
Attend the art experience here!
