Night to Shine 2025 will be eheld on Friday, February 7 and we cannot wait to welcome our friends with special needs on the red carpet, to see the smiles, to dance the dances, crown our queens and kings and to celebrate with each other.
Cool fact ~ NTS25 is the 8th year that Erie will join over 700 churches around the world celebrating more than 100,000 of our friends with special needs. Why February? Night to Shine is always held the Friday before Valentine's Day in every country around the world, in every U.S. state and in every city - clearly, Erie weather in February is not taken into consideration :) If you have joined us in the past, you know we have experienced the weather you would expect for Erie in February ... but that doesn't stop us ~ 5 wintry in-person events, one snowy drive-through event and one freezing delivery event but last year - 2024 was unseasonably warm!
If you'd like to be part of this global movement of acceptance and love for people with special needs and have your life changed while changing the lives of others, please contact us to find ways that you can be part of our favorite night of the year!.
