Overview
The Allentown Water Lantern Festival is coming up on July 18, 2026 to Cedar Beach Park!
Voted #1 Best Cultural Festival by USA Water Lantern Festival TODAY two years in a row! Water Lantern Festival is a floating lantern event that is all about connections. Magical nights in cities across the U.S. include food, games, activities, vendors, music and the beauty of thousands of lanterns adorned with letters of love, hope and dreams reflected upon the water.
