Light Up A Life 2025

You’re invited to Hospice of Santa Barbara’s 42nd Annual Light Up a Life Ceremony!

Join us for this beloved community tradition of remembering and honoring those you miss this holiday season. Each ceremony will feature speakers and special guests, entertainment, refreshments, and the lighting of a memorial tree. 

Please come to one or more of our Light Up A Life ceremonies, and hang a star in memory of a loved one who has died or in honor of someone living. We encourage you to personalize your star – often people include a photo or quote to commemorate memories shared. 

This year, HSB is excited to welcome back Lois Mahalia, John Vale, Dos Pueblos Jazz Choir, and the Laguna Blanca School Choir to certain ceremonies, along with cookies from Robin Himovitz and Aunt Janet’s Cookies, poetry by Perie Longo and George Yatchisin, and other amazing speakers and guests. 

We hope you can join us to celebrate and remember those we loved.
