From Roanoke County Parks, Recreation and Tourism:
Out of an abundance of caution, all Illuminights activities, including the Walk of Lights Trail, have been canceled/closed on Wednesday, December 11, 2024 due to a Wind Advisory.
The National Weather Service has issued a Wind Advisory for Roanoke County and is forecasting winds of 15 to 30 mph with gusts up to 55 mph.
Explore Park is following the precautionary actions recommended by the National Weather Service which calls for people to avoid being outside in forested areas due to the threat of falling trees and limbs.
