The Graham Academy will host its 2025 Light It Up Blue autism awareness event on Public Square in Wilkes-Barre.

The family-friendly day includes vendors, face painting, food trucks, live music, family resources and more — all focused on promoting autism acceptance.

This year’s theme is “Rock Around the Block,” featuring a 5K Walk/Run that begins at noon. Registration, which begins at 11:30 a.m., is $25 and includes a commemorative T-shirt.

All proceeds from race registrations will benefit A Moment of Magic Foundation, a nonprofit that uplifts medically vulnerable children through the power of play, creativity and emotional support.
