Postponed until January 1st - Bring your homemade candle boat or floating creation to a community celebration of light & magic! Manson’s Lagoon spit on Sunday January 1st at 5:00 pm. Young and old, locals and visitors, merry of heart, but please leave 4-legged friends at home.

Make sure that your boat or creation is earth-friendly: use wood, paper bags, tissue paper; remove the aluminum casing around tealights and replace with shortened toilet paper rolls. Be simple or elaborate; tealights on a flat board work well, but check that your boat floats and prepare your candle by pre-lighting at home first. Bring matches and wear gumboots. The tide will be rising late afternoon from 10.5 ft to 12.5 ft , so tide & wind will determine which side of Manson’s Spit we will launch boats.

Please park in the parking lot to keep car lights off the lagoon and minimize erosion around the lagoon shore.

May hearts lighten and be joyous as the light of the sun begins its return.
