Drop-In Lantern Making 2025

For 26 years our community has been making Baltimore shine. Come create your favorite Patterson Park animal lantern with us! Maybe a duck, squirrel, or Oriole bird? We can’t wait to see what you’ll create.

Bring your lantern back to our spectacular parade on Saturday, October 25th (rain date: October 26th) and you can shine bright through the night! Create a glowing lantern in these special workshops at Creative Alliance, then bring them to march in Baltimore’s only Great Lantern Parade in Patterson Park! All ages welcome, all supplies provided.
