Wish Sidewalk Lanterns
More details to follow. Times are estimated. 6:30 to 8:00 pm
The town of Malvern hopes to treat you to a “wonder” light night to kick off the holiday season of 2024. We are hoping the stars align and make it a perfect night for this event!!
The annual Holiday Tree Lighting and Wish Lantern Launch festivities in Malvern are held the Saturday after Thanksgiving, weather conditions permitting. Holiday carols, hot chocolate, a tree lighting ceremony are the prelude to the climax of the evening, the Wish Lantern Launch. Dozens of beautiful paper lanterns are decorated with written messages, memories and memorials or whatever participants wish to release into the star-filled sky. Then the fun begins! Each lantern is lit, allowed to gain buoyancy and released to float for miles aloft. A beautiful sight and a great time of fellowship to start the Holiday season.
Luminaries are added as Lanterns are not always able to be launched due to high winds and drought conditions.
