On the anniversary weekend of the Dedication of the Soldiers’ National Cemetery and the Gettysburg Address, the Gettysburg Foundation lights over 3,500 luminary candles - one on each Civil War soldier’s grave in the National Cemetery - to remember and honor the sacrifices made by those who fought at Gettysburg. The candle lighting and reading of soldiers’ names is a solemn commemoration of the sacrifices made on this and other battlefields. For information contact the Gettysburg Foundation at 717-338-1243. Free to the public.

You can be a part of this tribute by sponsoring a candle or by volunteering. Luminary candles can be sponsored by individuals or groups for $18.63 per candle.

Sponsorships may be made "in honor of" or "in memory of" a person or a group and are limited to 100 characters.
