Lantern Walk

About this event

As the seasons change and autumn settles in, join us for a cozy evening celebration designed for families with kids ages 9 and up. Together, we’ll create our own lanterns decorated in rich seasonal colors. Once the sun sets, we’ll use our handmade lanterns to light the path as we take a calm, guided walk through the woods after dark. This peaceful nighttime experience encourages curiosity, reflection, and connection with nature. All lantern supplies will be provided.
