The Hyde Park neighborhood will host the 41st Luminaria on Saturday.
Thousands of Luminaria will blaze along sidewalks and driveways as music and a horse-drawn wagon, and Santa will highlight activities in the park area along 20th Ave. Cider and cookies will be provided in the tent.

The celebration runs from 6 – 9 p.m. Streets around Hyde Park, including 20th and 22nd Avenues, and will be closed at 5:30. The streets will be reopened at 9:30 after festivities wind down at 9.
Between 5:30 and 9:30, the two blocks from Main St. east to Adams St. on 20th Ave. will be westbound-only one-way, and 22nd Ave. will be eastbound-only,
The weather forecast predicts temperatures at around 40 degrees, dropping to 30, with light winds and no precipitation.
