Do any of you partake in this?

I am considering visiting a HumanLight celebration this Saturday.
It is being sponsored by the Arkansas Society of Freethinkers. It will be my first time meeting with this group but it seems like good fun.

HumanLight*|* How We Celebrate for any of you interested in how it's celebrated.

I'm on the fence about the event; leaning more towards not going. I looked for the event on Facebook and it will be sparsely attended and considering it's 30 miles away...it needs to have a large number of people there to be worth it.

When I first saw the title of this thread I thought of Burning Man, Now that’s a celebration.

Years back I was in Athens, Greece over one of the religious holidays. In the central area of town they had a park with a hill topped by a religious building of some sort. The road worked it way up the hill in a continuing spiral and after dark the people walked up the hill with candles. I could watch the process from my hotel, and to me that was a humanlight celebration.
