Set for this Saturday, July 25th, the annual Chattanooga Water Lantern Festival returns to Chester Frost Park for an unforgettable evening full of reflection, connection, and lifelong memory-making moments, where attendees can design and write messages on floating lanterns before launching them across Chickamauga Lake at sunset.
A memorable and growing staple event in the Scenic City, the Chattanooga Water Lantern Festival will feature more than just a lantern launch. There will also be a host of amazing local food trucks, vendors, live music, family-friendly activities, and lawn games.
Bring a chair or a blanket, and prepare for an unforgettable evening, as folks are encouraged to write down their hopes, dreams, and tributes on beautifully designed eco-friendly wood and paper lanterns with LED lights before casting them out onto the calm lake waters.
After the launch, each lantern is later retrieved from the water by a hardworking crew to help with preservation and sustainability, with the LED lights being removed so they can be properly recycled or reused…
