Evanston ASPA is hosting the annual Lantern Festival in honor of ASPA Heritage Month at 7:30 p.m. on May 30 at Arrington Lagoon . The event is inspired by the lantern festivals and traditions found across Asia, South Asia and the Pacific Islands. This event offers community members a chance to come together with others to honor, remember, celebrate, and commemorate through a collective act of floating lanterns on the Lagoon.
The event is free to the public, but donations will be accepted to help support the event.
