Shine A Light™ On ’68 Was A Hit!

Stay tuned here for announcements on 2019’s Shine A Light™

The annual Shine A Light™ On The Queen concert is a musical spectacle that needs to be seen to be truly heard. Over 60 local musicians come together on one stage, swapping out members to play the hits of whatever theme strikes our fancy! This “Musical Chairs” approach to playing the stage generates thousands of dollars in donations to The Light Up The Queen Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to preserving the Queen Theater in Wilmington, DE, and to preserving arts education for children in our community.

Shine A Light™ On ’68

Shine A Light™ On 1968 – A celebration of the music of 1968, performed by a revolving line up of over 60 local musicians.  This is not your cousin’s cover band…this is a concert experience, with full visual spectacle and an immersive vibe.  It is the biggest party of the year!

This year’s theme is 1968! From Psychedelia to Motown to Rock, it was a year that lit the fuse for the explosion of the most memorable music era of a century.

All proceeds benefit the Light Up The Queen Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to delivering music education and programs to the youth of New Castle County.

The VIP Section

The educational mission of LUQ ties in nicely to our Shine A Light™ VIP experience this year as we have engaged The CROP Foundation to cater dinner for our VIPs. To date, The CROP Foundation has awarded over $25,000 in scholarships to help students attend the country’s most prestigious culinary schools.  The Shine A Light™ VIP and CROP Foundation partnership will ultimately translate to more educational opportunities and scholarships for students in need.
