Lantern Walk
Sunday, November 09 2025
This is a historic European festival celebrating autumn at the end of the agricultural year and the beginning of the harvest. Festive music plays as attendees carry lanterns through the meadows of Fairview Farm Wildlife Preserve. Volunteers (ages 12+) are needed for the following positions to ensure the event runs smoothly. This is a unique experience, one you will remember!
