Envision hundreds of glowing water lanterns gently bobbing on the Las Colonias Butterfly Pond after sunset. Each one beautifully decorated with words of hope, memories, or dreams and wishes. Music and aromas from local food trucks fill the air while families and friends decorate their lanterns. In what is sure to be an awe-inspiring sight, the lanterns will be launched all at once! Attendance is free, and water lantern kits, including the lantern, LED tea-light, and marker, are $6 each, or six kids for $30. Lanterns cost $8 the day of the event.
