  • Lexington Lantern Festival

    Cary Hall, 1605 Mass Ave

    As winter begins to soften and the promise of spring draws near, the Lexington Lantern Festival invites the community to gather on March 1 for an evening shaped by light, hope, and shared experience. Hosted at Cary Hall, the festival is a celebration of tradition, creativity, and togetherness.

    From 1:00 to 4:00 PM, Cary Hall comes alive with interactive booths, hands-on activities, and moments for reflection as visitors write wishes and create lantern-inspired keepsakes. Beginning at 4:00 PM, cultural performances and music fill the space, sharing stories through movement, sound, and tradition until 6:00 PM.

    As dusk settles, the celebration flows beyond the hall. From 6:00 to 7:00 PM, participants are invited to join a lantern parade from Cary Hall to the Visitors Center, carrying light, hopes, and collective spirit into the evening. The journey concludes with a shared moment of illumination at the Visitors Center, where the glow of lanterns reflects the community’s wishes for the future.

    The Lexington Lantern Festival is more than an event—it is a pause, a gathering, and a shared step forward, lighting the way together.
