AAPI Montclair's Lantern Festival: A Night of Light, Love and Community

Apr 15, 2023Apr 15, 2023

AAPI Montclair hosted its 3rd annual Lantern Festival in Edgemont Park Sunday. The magical and meaningful event lights up the park with thousands of lanterns in remembrance of those harmed by violence and injustice, including anti-Asian hate and brings Montclair — and its many community organizations — together for an evening like no other.

The Lantern Festival included remarks by local and state leaders, performances, live music, delicious offerings from food trucks, community partner tables, activities for children, and the opportunity to dedicate a luminary with a special message.
