Floating Remembrance Lanterns

Port Albert's Floating Remembrance Lanterns

Join the Port Albert Progress Association (PAPA) for a heartfelt evening of remembrance at the Easter Floating Remembrance Lanterns event.

From 6pm, the Port Albert foreshore will be illuminated with the gentle glow of candlelit lanterns, each carrying messages of love and remembrance for those who have passed or those we cannot be with this Easter.

With the shimmering water reflecting the soft flicker of candlelight, this serene and symbolic gathering offers a moment of peace, reflection, and connection.

For a $2 donation, our friendly PAPA team will assist you to launch your environmentally friendly lantern. The Friends of St John Church can also help you to write a heartflet message on your lantern.

Come together with the community to honor cherished memories in this beautiful tribute.

Lanterns will be launched from 6pm (on Dusk).
