Created by and featuring artist Chantelle Rytter, the Lantern Parade is a free event and an opportunity for the surrounding community and visitors to celebrate the history, ecology and people of Hilton Head Island. We love seeing our whole community as volumes of light!

The only requirement to participate is having a lantern!

Lineup for the parade begins at 5:00 p.m. at the Alder Lane Beach Access. The parade will step off at 5:45 PM, right after sunset, and travel north along South Forest Beach up to Coligny Beach Park. From there, the parade continues through the Coligny Beach Park Access, around the Circle, to conclude at Lowcountry Celebration Park. Food Trucks, beverages and live music (Groove Town Assault) at the Park after the parade.

Come early and gather with neighbors and fellow parade participants at Loggerhead Landing (entrance off Alder Beach access – Marriott Grande Ocean). Starting at 3 PM: Lantern Making, Face Painting, and Live Music by Darryl Van Horn (Da Sole Mate) until 6 PM.
