The 4th Annual Albany Lantern Parade will be held on Sunday, November 3, 2019 from 4pm-6:30pm in Washington Park in Albany, NY. The Albany Lantern Parade is a simple celebration of light and community as everyone gathers at sunset to walk with handmade lanterns in Washington Park. Battery-operated tealights will be available for use during the walk. This event is free and open to the public.
