Tentatively scheduled for September 30th (with a venue yet to be confirmed), The Lantern Fest is Colorado’s premiere lantern festival that features not only an amazing light spectacle, but also live music, s’mores, and delicious vendors. Produced by Sack Lunch Productions, The Lantern Fest is a touring event that has delighted not only Centennial State families, but countless other families across America since 2014. In addition to an unforgettable light show, attendees will be provided with a bio-degradable lantern of their own (plus a marker and lighter) to launch at dusk!
