We are so excited to join in on the Stratford Lantern Festival again this year!🏮
This event is put on by the Playmakers! Theatre School and they have invited us to join in on the water. Decorate your kayak with lanterns and remember to light it up!
The event begins at 6:30pm at Tom Patterson Island. At 6:30pm, paddlers will circle the island a few times before heading down the river and back. Spectators can view from anywhere along the river but will get the best view from the island. Paddlers and spectators are all encouraged to dress up and join in on the lantern theme.
Since the event starts at 6:30pm, we ask that all paddlers arrive prior to allow themselves time to decorate and be on the water and at the island for 6:30.
The theme is just a suggestion but lights, lifejackets, and safety kits are a requirement. Additionally, we remind everyone to dress appropriately for the weather as well as bring things like bug spray to make the night as enjoyable as possible.
Disclaimer: Everyone attending understands and willingly undertakes this expedition solely at their own discretion with a full understanding of the risks involved. Although prepared, Light Up The Night Kayaking hosts assume zero responsibility for any incidents, lost items, or any other occurrences on or surrounding the river.
