Hospice of Santa Barbara invites the community to celebrate and honor the lives of their loved ones at its 34th annual Light Up A Life ceremonies.

The free ceremonies will feature special speakers and guests, entertainment, and the lighting of a memorial tree. Visitors can watch as hundreds of sparkling tribute stars are hung on memorial trees to commemorate those who are no longer with us.

Stars are available online and will be available at each ceremony for a suggested donation of $15 or more for those wishing to personalize a star to hang on the tree. All proceeds will benefit Hospice of Santa Barbara.
