Luminary Loppet Luminary, Lake of the Isles, Minneapolis 2024

A luminary from the annual Luminary Loppet illuminates the night around Lake of the Isles in Minneapolis. This popular winter event transforms the perimeter of Lake of the Isles, part of the city's Chain of Lakes, into a festive trail for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and walking. Thousands of luminaries line the path, creating a unique community experience. In February 2024, unseasonably warm weather necessitated moving the event's course from the lake's surface to its surrounding pathways.
