Neighborhood Bonfire Nov. 1

Little High Neighborhood bonfire Sun. 11/01/26
The size of the fire in this photograph is exaggerated for dramatic purposes. A fire of this size is illegal under Charlottesville’s municipal code, so our fire will be so much smaller.

Everyone is invited to the Little High neighborhood’s outdoor gathering and bonfire small, safe, contained fire on Sunday, November 1, 7-9pm in the backyard of 1201 Little High Street (corner of Little High & 12th). We’ll provide hot apple cider! Bring a chair and a story (Día de los Muertos themed or not) if you wish or just come hang out with your neighbors.
