The Lakes Region Lantern Festival is a celebration of memory, togetherness, and hope for the future. As the sun sets on the summer season, hundreds of lanterns will be set adrift, creating a stunning display on the water.

Join the M/S Mount Washington and the Lakes Region Tourism Association as we say goodbye to summer and transform the waters of Lake Winnipesaukee into a glowing masterpiece.

The Lakes Region Lantern Festival is a celebration of hope, memory, and togetherness. As the sun sets behind the mountains, thousands of eco-friendly lanterns will be set adrift, creating a stunning display on the water.

Whether you are honoring a loved one, making a wish for the future, or simply coming to witness the beauty of the Lakes Region at night — this is a "must-see" event for all ages.

🌿 To protect the pristine waters of the Big Lake, we provide only beeswax or soy based crayons at our decorating stations. If you decorate at home, please use these products to help us keep Winni clean! Please note that items that use paints, stickers, glitter or glue will not be allowed to float.
