Lantern Parades have been celebrated throughout the world for 100's of years. The one thing they all have in common is coming together to remember and to celebrate. In China, the Lantern Festival marks the end of the Chinese New Year, Festivities with the first full moon of the year in early March. On this brightly lit night, thousands of lanterns line the streets, hung from homes and storefronts, setting the stage for the processions and colorful performances to end the festivities. In Germany, townsfolk gather in the dead of winter to remember the light of summer. In Ridgway, we will be celebrating our young artists at their annual art show by creating a parade of handmade lanterns with grade school children!

This is a hands-on progressive art project making paper lanterns from design to finish. We need volunteers to keep our little artists focused so come sign up and be a part of the fun!
