Lantern floating is a beautiful opportunity for the community to come together for a collective moment of remembrance and reflection.
In 2019 we co-create a virtual ceremony in a video of photos, artwork, remembrances, hopes and intentions. There are also other videos on this site, including a documentary of the Arcata Lantern Floating Ceremony by local filmmaker Brianna Chapman and other videography.
This event is an opportunity to offer spiritual consolation for people we miss, departed loved ones, ancestors, intercultural harmony, healing and all we hold dear.

Our deepest gratitude to Mark Larson for the photo on the top of this page and for the many photographs he has taken of the Arcata Lantern Ceremony over the years, many of which are in our images gallery on this website.
