Many thanks to all the community members who came out for our 2026 Lantern-Making Workshop, held in advance of the 9th Talbot Avenue Bridge Lantern Walk.

Approximately 50 people came by during the three-hour workshop, and many beautiful lanterns were made! Check out a few snapshots below.

Special thanks to Girl Scout Cadette Troop 34247 for volunteering at the event and to the Montgomery County Recreation Department for use of the Gwendolyn E. Coffield Community Center’s Art Room.

Community members work on creating one-of-a-kind lanterns from recyclable plastic bottles, colorful tissue paper, and a wide range of decorative adornment options.
