Coventry PEACE Campus Annual Lantern Festival
Saturday, Dec. 9th
3-7 pm
Get in the true spirit of the holiday season - join us for our annual Coventry PEACE Campus Lantern Festival on Saturday, Dec. 10th. This is a FREE event and perfect for ALL AGES - we will be hosting afternoon workshops, an early evening lantern procession through the park & down Coventry Road, and then a holiday sing-along and snacks at the Coventry PEACE Building. Full details are coming soon!
We will be hosting several workshops leading up to the event, and on the afternoon of the event to assist you in making a creative and beautiful lantern that you can carry in the procession and take home with you.
Join in the holiday procession led by the creator of this festival, Robin VanLear and featuring live drummers, dancers and larger than life “puppets”. Carry your lantern (either the one you made at our workshop, or a special one that you bring with you) as we make our way through the PEACE Park and the Coventry Village business district. The procession will wind its way back to the Coventry PEACE Building where we will end the evening with a holiday sing-along and cocoa. The procession will leave from the flagpole near the Coventry PEACE Building parking lot at 5:00 pm.
After the procession, come inside to warm up with some cocoa, cider and cookies, and you can join the Singers’ Club of Cleveland in a sing-along of holiday classics. Continue to work on your lanterns, or just sit and relax as we wind down this eventful day. The sing-along and snacks will begin at approximately 5:30 pm.
Our Lantern Festival is held in conjunction with the Coventry Village Holiday Festival. From 11 am - 6 pm, our friends and neighbors in the Coventry Village Business District will be hosting a plethora of events like the Jingle Bell Shop at the Grog shop featuring unique local artists and vendors, free pictures with Santa, live music, cookie decorating & more!
