The Fremont Arts Council celebrates the autumnal equinox with our illuminated lantern procession around Green Lake!

The lantern shop will open at 5:30 PM on Saturday September 20th. You can purchase lanterns, with all proceeds benefiting the Fremont Arts Council, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. The procession will begin at 7:30 PM following the lead band around Green Lake. At the end of the procession, some illuminated art will be on display for your enjoyment!

Want to display your stationary, illuminated art?

Do you have illuminated art you’d like to display at a designated spot along the parade route? Grant applications are closed, but you can still receive a free designated spot along the parade route to show off your art piece. Email luminata@fremontartscouncil.org before September 6th, or fill out this short form to let us know your preferences and we will work with you to try to make that happen! If you have mobile art like a puppet, music, costume, lantern, or something else you can walk with, just bring it along and walk in the procession (no need to coordinate with us).

Luminata Workshops

Our FREE lantern making workshops begin on September 3rd and run until September 17th. Make one for yourself, and help to make more to sell at the event. All proceeds will benefit the Fremont Arts Council.

No registration. Drop in any time during workshop hours listed on our calendar.
