2023 The Lantern City Location -Jack Poole Plaza

Coastal Lunar Lanterns

Lost in Nature

Jan. 20th to Feb. 15th
Free Program

The Coastal Lunar Lanterns is where The Lantern City began. Facing the ocean and presenting artworks by Indigenous artists from Canada and from Taiwan, these lanterns are a physical and visual bridging of cultures. As these Indigenous artists share with us stories from their tribes and ancestors, we are reminded that we live on their unceded and traditional lands. Through their art, we see the faces of their loved ones intertwined with the warm embrace of nature. Whose face will you see?
