Hope Floats Water Lantern Festival 2025

Richard Lambert Foundation’s Hope Floats Water Lantern Festival Presented by Allo Fiber is a heartwarming and family-friendly fundraising event that invites individuals of all ages to come together and celebrate a night of unity, remembrance, and hope. This enchanting festival offers a unique opportunity for friends, family, neighbors, and community members to connect in a meaningful and joyous atmosphere.

Beyond its enchanting atmosphere, the Water Lantern Festival serves a greater purpose by raising funds for a cause that benefits the community with grief care services. Join us in being a part of coming together for a common good.
