From Lyn Davies, Volunteer coordinator at Wildwood Park for the Arts: “The Lanterns Festival at Wildwood Park for the Arts is our largest fundraiser of the year. We expect as many as 5000 people coming through the park that weekend, so we need all the help we can get. If you haven't been to Lantern's before, it is spectacular! This annual deep winter festival transports guests to far away lands and times throughout the park. Cultural vistas feature food, drink, games and live entertainment. This year our vistas are China, Greece, South Pacific, Italy, India, and New Orleans! It is a fun event that helps support our facilities and arts programming throughout the year.”
