Salish Sea Festival: A Week of Lanterns

Due to COVID-19, the annual Salish Sea Lantern Festival and parade cannot proceed as planned however, ArtSea is offering several opportunities to build-your-own lantern, with online lantern-building tutorials and small, in-person workshops. During the week of August 16th to 22nd, the community is invited to light up their lanterns each night at 7pm. Lanterns can be displayed on a front lawn, hung from a balcony, or displayed in a front window; anywhere that they are visible to the community and can be enjoyed by everyone. This is a wonderful opportunity to be creative and be part of a community project in a time when community is most important. Prizes for the best display. artsea.ca/calendar/salish-sea-festival-a-week-of-lanterns/
