Begun in 2018, the Talbot Avenue Bridge Lantern Walk is an annual family-friendly local community event that weaves together neighborhoods once divided by racial segregation and fittingly takes place during Montgomery County’s Remembrance and Reconciliation Month. Washington Revels Heritage Voices will be on hand to lead songs celebrating freedom, justice and community. All are welcome! Come join us in shining our lights in the darkness, promoting unity over division, remembering the past and taking steps toward a brighter future.
View Linden Lyttonsville, a documentary produced by former resident Curtis Crutchfield (and aired on Montgomery Community Media), featuring interviews with many current and former Lyttonsville/Linden residents as well as video footage of recent Talbot Avenue Bridge-related events, such as the 2023 Lantern Walk and the 2024 new Talbot Avenue Bridge opening ceremony.
