MARFA — The Marfa Chamber of Commerce, which previously warned this year’s Marfa Lights Festival might be canceled due to a lack of volunteers, announced last week that the annual event will take place as planned. The chamber, a volunteer board which puts on the event, was able to attract enough additional volunteers to help organize and run the three-day festival.
The 38th annual celebration is set to take place on Labor Day weekend, August 29-31. “Thank you to everyone who has stepped up to volunteer to help us with this monumental effort,” Chamber Secretary Lindsay Smith said.
