A Night on the Water
Join the Lakes Region Tourism Association and the M/S Mount Washington as we say goodbye to summer and transform the waters of Lake Winnipesaukee into a glowing masterpiece.
The Lakes Region Lantern Festival is a celebration of hope, memory, and togetherness. As the sun sets behind the mountains, thousands of eco-friendly lanterns will be set adrift, creating a stunning display on the water.
Whether you are honoring a loved one, making a wish for the future, or simply coming to witness the beauty of the Lakes Region at night — this is a “must-see” event for all ages.
