You’ve likely never experienced anything quite like the Water Lantern Festival taking place this weekend (Saturday, May 4, 2019) near Greensboro. Thousands of people are expected to show up at High Point City Lake Park in Jamestown and cast illuminated hand-crafted “intention” lanterns into the water.

The moving experience is said to be like no other, as this event travels from city to city throughout the country.

The concept is a moving one: show up, have fun at the festival, write your hopes, your dreams, a love letter, your sorrows, or anything you want on your very own lantern — and then launch it into the lake.
