Come early and make your own lantern for FREE!
Downtown Duluth is the place to be on Friday, May 30, 2025!
Come early to make your own lantern and enjoy live entertainment on the Town Green — and then take part in the magical Lantern Parade for a colorful procession through downtown Duluth.
The events are FREE to attend.
The lantern-making workshop features free materials and instruction, while supplies last — so we suggest arriving early!
You can also bring your own lanterns, either purchased or made at home.
This year’s theme is Enchanted Forest Glow.
