The Fremont Arts Council celebrates the autumnal equinox on September 21st at Green Lake Park at the south end of the lake to "bid farewell to summer and move gently into autumn with our annual illuminated celebration."

They float their beautiful illuminated and decorated lanterns on the lake Saturday from 7pm - 10pm.

We begin our celebration with a ceremony at the Aqua Theater at the south shores of Green Lake.

Everyone is invited to bring lanterns, glowing umbrellas, luminous costumes, or other beaming creations to parade around the lake.

Hand-decorated lanterns created at workshops by your friends and neighbors will be available for sale at the Luminata Lantern Shoppe to complement your ensemble and keep you glowing through the long nights to come.

Throughout the park you will encounter magical art installations, music, performances, and a secret banquet!
