Friday, September 10th is the annual River’s Edge Trail Luminaria Walk.
Over 1500 luminaria will line the trail every ten feet from West Bank Park to the 10th Street Bridge, decorated by our local kids, service groups, and volunteers.
For the past 24 years, the volunteer River’s Edge Trail Board of Directors invite musicians and vendors to choose a location on the trail to entertain walkers.
Folks are invited to stroll the trail between 7:00 – 11:00 PM and begin walking anywhere between West Bank Park and 10th street bridge.
This will also be the grand opening for the bridge as it is completed.

River’s Edge Trail | Great Falls, Montana
The River’s Edge Trail Luminaria Walk is an annual free, family-friendly event held along the scenic River’s Edge Trail in Great Falls, Montana. The trail itself is a popular paved and single-track path spanning over 60 miles along the Missouri River, connecting parks, historic sites, and attractions like Gibson Park, the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center, and Giant Springs State Park.
The Luminaria Walk celebrates the trail by lighting it up with thousands of hand-decorated paper bags (luminarias) filled with sand and tea lights, creating a magical evening atmosphere.
The event is organized by the River’s Edge Trail Foundation to highlight and support the trail system, which began development in the early 1990s.
For more on the trail year-round, including maps and other events, visit the official site at thetrail.org or the city’s recreation page.
If you’re planning a visit, the trail is great for walking, biking, or exploring nearby spots like Riverside Park.
