Welcome to the
web page of the
Tenth Annual Erie Village
Illumination Night & Porch Lantern
Festival
|
During the Porch
Lantern Festival, Erie Village residents bid farewell to summer and
celebrate our
beautiful homes and wonderful neighborhood by decorating our porches for the Saturday evening
spectacle of Illumination Night,
at sundown on August 12.
Erie Village residents are invited to deck out their porches
and yards with paper and silk
lanterns for this unique event.
Illumination
Night will be at sunset on Saturday, August 12th, when
neighbors, visitors, and guests
will stroll through the streets to view the lantern displays. There will be a display contest once again this year.
Previous
year's Illumination Nights had wonderful turnouts, and
this year promises to be even bigger, continuing the annual
tradition - similar to events in other towns and
neighborhoods around the country, such as Martha's Vineyard, Eureka
Springs, Ocean Grove, Rockport, and Walnut Beach.
Here's
how to find us.
For more information on the event, please email Michelle or call 303.263.2391.
Thanks for
visiting! This page will be updated soon!
