Our 13th Annual Lantern Festival is almost here! It has become a wonderful tradition for the whole family to enjoy. Join us in celebrating a 100-year-old German tradition with food and drinks, a Martinsmarkt, singing, and ending with a traditional lantern walk around the neighborhood.

In the spirit of Saint Martin's gift to a coatless beggar, we will be collecting gently used coats and blankets for those in need again this year. The collection for these items will start a few days before the festival.
