On September 19, 2026 we will come together for an incredible experience you won’t want to miss! The Lantern Festival brings individuals of all ages (free entry for ages 5 & under), backgrounds and walks of life together for one awe-inspiring evening.

There will be music, dancing, merchandise, arts & crafts and food & beverage vendors, and a great (free) Kids Zone with complimentary face painting, a balloon twister, climbing wall and several inflatable features! When the time is just right, we will light the sky with our highest hopes, deepest desires, and fondest memories. Mark milestones, set goals or celebrate the life of a loved one in Heaven.

We invite you to experience the enchantment as the night sky is lit up by the warm glow of hundreds of lanterns carrying messages of hope, love, happiness and peace.

It’s a night that you will never forget.

Live music by the Chad West Trio immediately following the lantern release!
