Traditional Filipino Star Lantern-Making Workshop

The Crooked River Lighthouse, in partnership with the Big Bend Filipino-American Association, will be offering their popular lantern-making workshop on Saturday, October 18 from 11:00 am -2:00 pm ET at C-Quarters Marina, 501 St. James Avenue (Hwy 98), Carrabelle, FL. At this wonderful workshop, led by Aurora Hansen and members of the Big Bend Filipino-American Association, guests will be guided in making traditional Filipino Parols, 3D star lanterns. These gorgeous lanterns are highly admired at Lantern Fest. Adding to the fun, guests can savor delicious Filipino food.
Materials, instruction and hands on help will be provided at the workshop. (Note: this workshop requires a bit more skill than the jellyfish lantern workshop.) Cost is $10 a person to cover the cost of materials. Participants will be able to explore their creative side and personalize their lantern to make it uniquely their own.  At the end of the workshop, attendees will go home with their own lovely lantern.
Participants are encouraged to bring their glowing creations back for Lantern Fest at the Crooked River Lighthouse on Saturday, November 8 from 6-10 pm, where the lanterns will add to the festival’s spectacular display.
Space is limited. Reservations are required by contacting the gift shop at the Crooked River Lighthouse at 850-697-2732 or carrabellelighthouse@gmail.com. Participants are asked to bring their $10 fee (cash only and correct change if possible) to pay at the door.  Funded in part by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council. Special thanks to the City of Carrabelle.
