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 19th. 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?
If you're creating a light installation and would like a designated display space along the procession route, Art Grant applications are open July 1–30. Whether or not you're applying for a grant, please submit your display request by September 7. Email luminata@fremontartscouncil.org , and we'll work with you to find the best spot for your artwork.
Bringing something you can carry or wear—like a lantern, puppet, illuminated costume, musical performance, or other mobile art? Just show up and join the procession! No registration or advance coordination is needed.
