On Thursday, Nov 13, 2025, we welcomed 7 partner artists to collaborate with us for lantern building. This is in preparation for our 5th annual Light up the Night in Champlain Heights Festival.
The session was led by crafter extraordinaire Kiki Nombrado Together, we learned how to transform cedar, holly, and upcycled materials into a lantern.
We are excited to see the final lanterns that will be created for Light up the Night in Champlain Heights on Dec 14!
