Welcome to Lanterns & Lore—a twilight gathering of story, light, and civic memory.

As dusk settles over the river, Missoulians arrive with handmade lanterns: paper stars, glass moons, and repurposed relics from civic days gone by. Along the path, storytellers and poets await at glowing Story Posts, each offering a tale, a prompt, or a mystery to ponder.

• Share a memory at the Lost & Found Lore booth
• Respond to a scroll with a haiku or civic vote
• Join the final gathering at the Carousel for a group song

This is not a performance—it’s a procession. You are not an audience, but a keeper of the flame. Carry your lantern, collect your stories, and let the river remember.
