Nashville Water Lantern Festival
Saturday, June 22
The Nashville Water Lantern Festival is happening this weekend at The Parthenon. The event is not free and the longer you wait to buy tickets, the price goes up ($40 if you wait to buy on Saturday).
A ticket will get you into the festival, a floating lantern (that you’ll design), commemorative drawstring bag, a marker and a wristband.
