Find purpose and connection at Lake Mayer this Saturday at the 1000 Lights Water Lantern Festival. Attendees pre-purchase lighted water lanterns and launch them into the tranquil waters of the lake at sunset March 9.
The act of releasing the water lanterns serves many purposes. The festival originated as an Eastern practice to bring communities together, mourn the loss of a loved one, or welcome new beginnings.
1000 Lights Festival is the first of its kind to come to Savannah’s picturesque Lake Mayer this weekend. The event helps friends, family, and loved ones gather together and celebrate hope through tradition. The event will also feature entertainment, food and games.
What to expect: At 1000 Lights Water Lantern Festival in Savannah, we are about producing lasting memories and times for families, friends, and communities to connect. Bring your favorite lounging items, games, whatever you like to beautiful Lake Mayer! We will provide food trucks, live entertainment, games, and best of all, a magical array of sparkling lights.
