“As one small candle may light a thousand, so the light here kindled has shown unto many.”
In 2020, America will celebrate the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the Mayflower in Plymouth, Massachusetts. And the excitement is already building. That’s why Plymouth, which is visited by thousands every year and known around the world as “America’s Hometown,” is starting the countdown to 2020 this Thanksgiving season with an event on Friday, Nov. 21, called “Illuminate 2014.”
The event will feature a candle-lighting ceremony inspired by a journal entry of Plimoth Colony’s Governor William Bradford, who wrote about the first decades of the settlement: “As one small candle may light a thousand, so the light here kindled has shown unto many.”
PartyLite, the world’s number one candle party company — headquartered in Plymouth for the last 41 years — is very proud to join its hometown as a sponsor of Illuminate 2014 and subsequent annual events leading up to the historic 400th anniversary.
