Light Up the Lakefront will return to rio in Gaithersburg on Saturday, December 5, bringing an evening of holiday entertainment, family-friendly activities, and an eight-minute professional fireworks show over the lake. The free event will take place from 4pm to 7pm, with fireworks scheduled to begin at 7pm.
This year’s celebration will also feature a pajama party benefiting Comfort Cases, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting children and teens entering foster care. Attendees are encouraged to wear their pajamas and bring brand-new, non-holiday-themed children’s pajamas to donate. In exchange for a qualifying donation, guests will receive a free s’mores kit to roast onsite. Monetary donations will also be accepted.
Comfort Cases provides backpacks filled with personal care items and other essentials, including pajamas, to help bring comfort and dignity to children entering the foster care system…
