It will take place in the Museum Park. The procession will gather at 5:30 p.m. at the Ellipse.

The walk is on a paved trail, about 3/4 of a mile long. It’s wheelchair-accessible.

This is a free event.

Look for updates on the Facebook event.

Event Schedule

4:30 pm: Activities and gathering for procession on the Ellipse. Come early to get parking and see everyone’s lanterns!
5:30 pm: Lantern procession assembles on the Ellipse. Please do not begin walking before 5:30 pm. Everyone will at the same time and take their time to have a peaceful walk.
6:30 pm: Festivities conclude on the Ellipse.

Lantern Making

No candles or flames. Use battery-operated or other kinds of lights.
Get creative! Tissue paper or cardstock often works best for the base of the lantern. The papier-mâché process is a great way to make a lantern. Use whatever colors, shapes, sizes, designs, process, other materials, and embellishments you like. You can even purchase a premade paper lantern and modify that. Be sure to consider how you will transport and carry your lantern. We encourage you to use your imagination and make it your own! Find more inspiration here.
Attend a Lantern-Making Workshop on November 16 or November 17.
The organizers will not be providing lanterns in advance of or at the event.
Please join even if you do not have a lantern! Being a spectator is just as fun.

Double-Check Before You Head Out!

We make every effort to make sure that everything on Triangle on the Cheap is 100% accurate.

However, sometimes things change without notice, and it’s also possible that we can make a mistake.

Please verify all deals and events with the venue or organizer before you go.
