Heights Lights on a Shelter Island Saturday night

The third annual Illumination Night in the Heights was supposed to happen on Friday, but an evening thunderstorm and hours-long power outage made illumination out of the question.

On Saturday night, July 26, they tried again, and this time, paper lanterns went up on porches all over the Heights. 

A 7:45 sung celebration at Union Chapel was followed by a group stroll through the winding streets to admire the lanterns, and stop for refreshments on the porches of many Heights neighbors.
