Floating Lanterns Festival

Monadnock Peer Support is excited to bring you our 2nd annual Floating Lantern Festival for Mental Health Awareness!

The Floating Lantern Festival is a beautiful and awe-inspiring event where participants gather to release hundreds of floating lanterns into the water at dusk.

These lanterns represent the light that we can all bring into the world and into the lives of those around us. As they float on the water, they serve as a powerful reminder that no one is alone in their struggles and that there is always hope for a brighter future.

In the Asian tradition, we will honor friends and family who struggle with mental health and work towards breaking the stigma.

Please join us as we decorate, light and float lanterns at dusk! This is a family friendly event!
