Join us for the River of Light Lantern Parade, January 17, 2026 at 4:00 PM. Celebrate creativity, community, and light. Artists and community members will showcase handmade lanterns made in our workshops. Experience light through breathtaking performances by local light spinners and dancers. Watertown Free Public Library's Bookmobile will be onsite, and we'll have cookies and hot cocoa inside the Mosesian Center for the Arts at our MBar.

The River of Light is a celebration of light in winter. Presented by the Public Arts & Culture Committee and the Mosesian Center for the Arts in partnership with the Watertown Cultural Council, the lantern-making workshops and wintertime parade build community and bring light, joy, and festivities during the darkest season of the year. 

The event is free, but we ask that you RSVP to help us plan for attendance.

Please consider donating during registration to support future free programs at the Mosesian Center for the Arts.
