This past weekend, Hospice of Santa Barbara hosted its 29th annual holiday Light Up a Life celebrations in Goleta and Santa Barbara, inviting families and friends to gather to celebrate the lives and memories of their loved ones.
The third of the three ceremonies will take place at the Seal Fountain at Linden Plaza in Carpinteria at 5 p.m. this Saturday, Dec. 8. Hundreds of lights and stars will illuminate a memorial tree at each site through the month of December.
