Set within the National AIDS Memorial Grove, Light in the Grove invites our communities to gather in honor of World AIDS Day - celebrating, remembering, and holding space for one another.

Every sight and sound you experience this evening has been thoughtfully curated to illuminate how music served as a catalyst for deep expression and a force for advocacy during the height of the HIV/AIDS crisis. These songs and stories remind us not only of the resilience and creativity of our communities then, but also of the ongoing power of art to heal, to mobilize, and to inspire change today.

Join us on this musical journey of remembrance and renewal as we honor the lives and legacies of those lost to AIDS, and reaffirm our collective commitment to justice, visibility, and care in the present.
