The location at the John Wright Restaurant in Wrightsville and hours will remain the same. The event will begin at 6 p.m. and culminate at 8 p.m. with the lighting of the lanterns. They will be placed in the Susquehanna River to float downstream and will be visible from the restaurant to symbolize inspiration and hope.

Lanterns can be purchased via mail or in person through the Youth Development Center, 3564 Heindel Road in Springettsbury Township. The cost is $10.
