PUEBLO, Colo. (KRDO) – Pueblo will light up with thousands of floating lanterns reflecting off the Riverwalk this weekend.
On July 27 beginning at 6:30 p.m., attendees will have the opportunity to decorate their own lantern and float it off into the river with fellow community members.
Event organizers say the festival is intended to give families, friends and strangers a chance to come together and share a peaceful, memorable experience.
Tickets are priced at $35, and the fee includes a lantern, a free face painting and hair tinsel. There will also be select food trucks at the event.
The lanterns are ecofriendly – made from wood and rice paper – and will be cleaned up by staff after the event to protect the Riverwalk.
Tickets for the event can be purchased here.
