The magical yearly tradition of the Illumination night is returning to Onset.

On Saturday, August 22nd at 9pm the beach of Onset Bay will be illuminated by thousands of flares that create a beach of red glow.

The illumination will be held after the Onset street painting festival which is the same day from 10-6. The festival will not only be featuring painters of all ages but numerous craft vendors.

The event is free for the entire family and is a great way to get the kids out of the house. The event can be used end the day or spend the night out. Bring a blanket an relax on the beach or take a walk past each a every one of the flares placed along the coast.
