Lantern Parade is Monday, November 10 at Hoyt Arboretum
One of our most magical community traditions is back—our annual Lantern Parade! This year, we’ll gather at Hoyt Arboretum to celebrate light, community, and kindness as our students carry handmade lanterns through the evening woods.
Families can choose between two guided walks (5:00 p.m. or 6:30 p.m.) or explore the trails independently. After the lantern walk, join us at the pavilion for songs, warm cider, and Weckmänner.
