Fire and Ice Luminary Path

media release: Due to extreme cold temps for Friday, Feb. 3, the Fire & Ice Luminary Path is postponed until Saturday, Feb. 4 and Sunday, Feb. 5. The path will be lit from 5-8 pm.

New dates and start times:

Bring your lanterns and matches to the Marston Street Bridge beginning Saturday, at 2:00. You’ll find a place for your lantern(s) on the established path. We’ll begin lighting the lanterns around 4:00. We’ll have candles and glass votives for your lantern or you can bring your own.

Here are few resources for making lanterns

It’s cold enough to make lanterns today to bring tomorrow!!! You can make lanterns using a variety of materials (must be earth and animal friendly). You will find super easy directions for creating ice luminarias on Youtube (there are hundreds!) Here is one of my favorites: Is Lykta - a Swedish method. Or this one from MN using balloons. Or, this easy one using a 5 gallon bucket.

Choose your own style, color, shape, and method. Make as many as you wish. Please make sure the cavity is large enough to hold a single serving glass yogurt container. Otherwise, the lantern is hard to light and to keep lit.
