Description
Before launching the lanterns, the festival will feature music and dancing, face-painting, children�s activities, food vendors, a beer garden and fresh-made s�mores. Each ticket holder gets the makings for four of the melty marshmallow, chocolate and graham cracker treats, and Lantern Fest supplies about a hundred small grills.
And one the city didn�t want to pass up once it heard the pitch from Lantern Fest. The company, which stages events across the country, requires about 100 to 150 local volunteers for each Lantern Fest. In return, Lantern Fest donates $60 per volunteer to local charities.
Chinese lanterns go back centuries in Asian culture. They�re essentially small hot air balloons made of paper, often sent up in memory of loved ones or as the equivalent of throwing a coin in a wishing well.

Gorgeous capture Elizabeth! On a beautiful June day this summer, a neighbor held a backyard wedding and celebrated the happy occasion sending aloft over 100 lighted lanterns into the night sky. It was absolutely mesmerizing to watch! L&F
