History of the Candlelight Celebration

Beginning as part of LSU's "Rekindle the Spirit," program in 1995, the University now welcomes the holiday season with the Candlelight Celebration. This multicultural event features performances from LSU students and includes traditions from Kwanzaa, Hanukkah and Christmas. The celebration has become a great tradition at LSU and continues to attract larger crowds each year.

Like other major events of this magnitude, a large number of volunteers are needed to ensure success. Students, staff and faculty members join together to make this celebration a reality. Each year, new volunteers become part of the team.
