The youngest children decorated jars to light the pathways while music from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons (Winter) played in the background.

Staff said the lanterns were impressive and the children loved the magical atmosphere. The family-friendly event brought the whole community together while championing the children’s creativity.

Given the joy and enthusiasm of the children and the beauty of the event, the team at The Laurels hopes to make the festival even bigger next year.
