Brighter Together Lantern Parade

The inaugural  Brighter Together Lantern Parade and Party was a magical evening! Over 350 people came together with hundreds of illuminated lanterns and paraded from the Alcott School to the Concord Scout House to the beat of the Middlesex Activist Band. A diverse array of community members of all ages flowed into the Concord Scout House to enjoy music and food. The highlight of the evening was enjoying the lanterns in the dark as a troupe of girls scouts led us in singing 'This Little Light of Mine'. What a wonderful celebration of our creative spirits and shared humanity. Stay tuned for the Brighter Together Lantern Parade and Party 2027!!
