Families and Community Members are warmly invited to the annual Community Lantern Walk on Monday.

An Autumn Lantern Walk is a traditional celebration for children that inspires connection to the rhythms of nature, community and the light within.

Autumn Lantern Walk
NEW DATE Monday, Nov.13th 6:00-8:00pm
NEW LOCATION:
Smelt Bay Park - furthest parking lot

We'll begin near the farthest parking lot and our lantern walk will lead us to a bonfire, warm cider, bread and butter.

Our intention is for a quiet reverent evening.
Please make sure your little ones stay right with you.
We'll bring the light into our hearts and carry it with us through the long dark days of winter.

All lanterns welcome.

Click here to learn I Go With My Bright Little Lantern, one of the lantern songs we will sing together.
I go with my bright little lantern,
My lantern is going with me.
In heaven the stars will be shining,
On earth shines my lantern for me.
The lights grow dim as we go in
La-bimba-la-bomba-la-boom
The lights grow dim as we go in
La-bimba-la-bomba-la-boom.


Weather permitting.
Everyone welcome.
