Shine your light at our annual lantern walk! Bring a homemade lantern (no flames) and come together as we honor the quiet beauty of the approaching winter season with a magical paper lantern procession through the Museum Park.
You create the light for the procession, so be sure to have your own paper lantern to carry.
Read on for detailed event information and guidelines on our website for making your lantern in advance. We will not be providing lanterns in advance of or at the event. Please join even if you do not have a lantern! Being a spectator is just as fun.
