The Library Lantern Festival

Mark your calendars! 

Saturday, May 11th at 6 PM
On the Upper Green in Newbury

Join us as we light up the night and rock out to the awesome band KAREN K &THE JITTERBUGS, as they bring their family-friendly retro-rock to Newbury. Bring a picnic, a blanket, dancing shoes and all your friends!


 As the sun sets over the Green, we'll light our beautiful homemade lanterns and parade around the Green to the magical music of Zach Fields' Student Steel Drum Band.


Lantern making workshops will be held prior to the event. All you need to bring is a plastic one or two liter bottle and we'll provide the rest. No need to register, just stop on in during one of these workshops!

  • Wednesday, April 24th at the Newbury Town Library
  • Wednesday, May 1st at the Newbury Town Library
  • Thursday, May 2nd at PITA Hall, Plum Island

If you want to make your own lantern at home or with a small group, stay tuned . . . detailed instructions on how to make these simple-yet-beautiful up-cycled lanterns to come.

If you want to donate materials or funds for the event or volunteer for the event, please contact Miss Olivia at ogatti@mvlc.org or The Friends on the Newbury Town Library!
