An evening to gather with family, friends, and community to honor and remember those we love and miss, hosted by Lakewood Cemetery in Minneapolis.
How it works
Decorate a floating lantern in memory of a loved one with words of love and remembrance (using art supplies provided at the event). As you create your lantern, listen to local musicians and enjoy expansive views of the cemetery including Lakewood’s lake, Jo Pond. Food vendors will be on hand with a variety of food and refreshments (for purchase separately).
At dusk, we’ll light our lanterns together and release them onto the lake in a beautiful ceremony. The effect is breathtaking and magical — connecting us to our loved ones and to each other.
