Lantern Walk

As daylight fades, a soft drumbeat calls people toward the riverbank. You’ll craft a small lantern from biodegradable paper and a wire frame, adding wishes or memories in ink.

The walk is quiet but not solemn—just shared presence among hundreds, each holding a gentle glow. At the water’s edge, lanterns float away, carried by the breeze and current.

Many return each year for this ritual; it feels both ancient and deeply personal. It’s gentle for teens, comforting for adults, and magical for kids over eight. Noise-canceling headsets available for sensory needs.
