If you haven’t heard of “Candles on the Canal” yet…well, it’s a new tradition James River Park manager Ralph White is trying to establish on the Canal Walk to celebrate the summer solstice.

“Float a wish down the canal,” said White, saying the event is open to everyone. There will be floating candles for participants to light and watch float down the canal along the Canal Walk in Shockoe Bottom.

This is the first effort, and Richmond really needs to show support for Ralph’s plan.  Meet at the Turning Basin, 9 p.m. Thanks to Venture Richmond for allowing the gathering, and let’s hope the weather helps out.  Who’s going to join us?
