We invite you to bring friends and family and join neighbors from 4:30-6:00pm for a sunset parade of home-made lanterns around Washington Park Lake as we welcome Eastern Standard Time.
This family-friendly event is free and all are welcome!
In the weeks before the event, free lantern-making workshops will be held at libraries and other venues around the city. Check our Facebook page for a complete schedule of workshops — or make some lanterns at home.
We’ll meet at the Lake House on Sunday, November 5 at 4:30 to bring arts, community and warmth to the autumn evening. Many thanks to the City of Albany and the Albany Public Library for their partnership.
