2023 Water Lantern Celebration

Join us for our 4th annual Water Lantern event!

Over 400 hundred hand-decorated lanterns inscribed with personal messages and artwork will once again float on the waters of Plattwood Pond to lift up and honor those of all abilities including the many neurodiverse folks that enrich our world.

At Water Lantern, we supply you with everything you need to make your very own eco-friendly lantern to be floated on Plattwood Pond at sunset. There's tasty food, music, and more at this outdoor festivity celebrating the differences that make our community a rich and vibrant one. Register today to reserve your lanterns!

A Little Compassion and its flagship program, The Nest Coffee House, has a big mission to change the lives of young adults with autism, intellectual/developmental disabilities, and related conditions. When you attend or donate to Water Lantern 2023, you're providing support and event access for the most vulnerable members of our community. Together we change lives!

Can't make it but still want to support our mission? You can provide admission to tri-town special education students, neurodiverse young adults, and other folks who otherwise would not be able to attend by making a donation here! When you give a little extra, you're providing admission to local special education students, neurodiverse young adults, and other folks who otherwise would not be able to attend.
