Mpls Lantern Fest Community Workshops

See the list on the right for locations and times of workshops.

Learn to build a paper lantern at a free community workshop and then join us for the inaugural Mpls Lantern Fest in downtown Minneapolis on the evening of Saturday, February 21, where workshop participants will convene with their illuminated lanterns and light up the winter night!

At these community workshops, people of all ages and abilities are invited to learn to make a lantern with the help and guidance of HOBT teaching artists. Participants will later pick up their own lanterns at Mpls Lantern Fest and take part in the movement of light beginning at 6 p.m. at Marquette Plaza. The lantern you make is yours to take home afterwards.

Workshops are FREE and open to all ages and abilities, and supplies are provided. HOBT teaching artists will be demonstrating how to construct the lanterns throughout each workshop, so drop by at any time during a workshop.
