Marysville Water Lantern Festival: A Celebration of Life and Community

The Marysville Water Lantern Festival is a unique event that combines art, music, and community spirit with a meaningful cause. This year's festival, set to take place on June 24th, promises to be an unforgettable experience for all attendees.

At the heart of the festival are the lanterns themselves, made from eco-friendly materials such as rice paper and wood. These beautiful creations can represent anything from a new chapter in life to a loved one who has passed away. Participants will have the opportunity to design their own lanterns and then release them into the water at 9 p.m.

But the festival is more than just a pretty sight. It's also a celebration of community and connection. The event features live musical performances, as well as goodie bags filled with playing cards and conversation starters to encourage attendees to socialize with each other.

The Marysville Water Lantern Festival is also a fundraiser for a global nonprofit organization that works to ensure access to safe water and sanitation for people around the world. All profits from the event will be donated to support this important cause.

For some, the festival can be an emotional experience. Hayden Earl, community outreach coordinator for the Water Festival, has seen participants use the event as a way to celebrate or grieve about aspects of their lives. But regardless of how attendees choose to approach the festival, it's clear that it's an event that will leave a lasting impression.

So mark your calendars for June 24th and get ready to be a part of something special in Marysville. The Marysville Water Lantern Festival is an event you won't want to miss!
