Lantern Lighting Festival

Lakewood Cemetery invites the public to a new event at Lakewood called “Lantern Lighting”. The event promises to be a unique evening of beauty, remembrance and entertainment for the entire community.

At the event, attendees can decorate a candlelit floating lantern with words of remembrance in memory of a loved one. At dusk, guests will gather to release their lanterns onto Lakewood’s lake during a nondenominational ceremony. During the event, guests can take in the beauty of the lake and historic grounds of Lakewood while enjoying live music and other activities for the whole family.
