As the sun begins to set, join us on August 22nd at 5:30pm at Dorey Park for the Water Lantern Festival—an experience centered around reflection, celebration, hope, and community. We’ll decorate lanterns and release them onto the water during a peaceful sunset ceremony, while also enjoying food trucks, live music, games, and local artisan booths throughout the evening. Whether you come to celebrate, remember, reflect, or simply take in the atmosphere, it’s a special night designed for all ages.

General admission tickets include your lantern-making kit and entry into the scavenger hunt giveaway,. Families are warmly welcome, and tickets can be purchased here: https://www.waterlanternfestival.com/events/richmond

Meetup details and a group landmark will be shared closer to the event date.
