The Water Lantern Festival is a family-friendly outdoor event that brings the community together for an evening of connection, reflection, and celebration.
Attendees decorate floating lanterns with messages of hope, remembrance, and intention before releasing them onto the water at sunset.
The event features live music, food trucks, non-food vendors, and interactive activities in a relaxed festival atmosphere. Guests are encouraged to enjoy the park, connect with loved ones, and take part in the lantern-release, which serves as the centerpiece of the evening.
The Water Lantern Festival is open to all ages and is designed to be a peaceful, inclusive experience that celebrates community, creativity, and shared moments.
