Event Type

Get ready to light up the longest night and welcome the return of the sun by joining us to create nature themed, paper lanterns, also called luminaries. We will be creating our luminaries out of paper and decorating them utilizing a variety of nature inspired techniques and patterns. Once completed, place the luminaries indoors or outdoors and light them with a real or electronic candle (similar to a jack-o-lantern) to bring a little festive spirit to the longest night of the year.

No registration required. Drop by the Thomas C. Savage Visitor Center any time between 11am and 1pm to craft your lanterns.
