The Violence Prevention Center (VPC) will be hanging purple ribbons on lamp posts downtown and will host a candlelight vigil in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

The annual candlelight vigil will be held on Tuesday, October 29 at 5:30 pm at Studio 21 in Grand Marais. Every October during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the VPC hosts this event to honor victims of intimate partner homicide and to show community support for survivors of domestic abuse. The vigil will include poetry readings, words from VPC staff, and the names and stories of the 40 Minnesotans killed in 2023 due to intimate partner homicide.
