Gathering, Lantern Preparation, Entertainment
This is a FAMILY event!
Bring a picnic, blanket, lawn chairs, relax and enjoy the magnificent grounds
of Historic Spring Grove as you are entertained by a wide variety of
talented musicians. (Please note the cemetery does not provide seating).
Prepare your personalized lantern by inscribing your own words of remembrance
and hope on our specially designed lanterns. Through them you send your
unique message of love, peace and hope into the world and to those we
love and have lost. The lanterns are then assembled with a candle and
prepared for a launch onto Willow Water Lake.
7:30 - 8:00 pm
Lantern Lighting & Launching at Willow Water Lake
At dusk we will gather at the shoreline to share a simple but beautiful ceremony.
The candles are lit and the lanterns are set upon the water to carry their messages.
As the lake is slowly illuminated with glimmering candlelight, the individual candles
join together to transform the darkness of the setting sun.
A $5.00 tax-deductible donation to the Spring Grove Heritage Foundation is requested
for the use of each lantern. Entertainment and parking are free. Food will be available
at a nominal charge. For the safety and security of all of our visitors, please leave
your pets at home.
