About
The Lantern Festival is great for all ages. Those who purchase water lanterns may decorate them at our decorating stations with memories of loved ones or hopes for the future. The Garden will be open to explore; try Japanese traditional games or sample tea in the Tea House.
At sunset, gather with the group to "light" your lanterns and release them onto the pond. Enjoy the gentle glow of lanterns on the pond and grab some cozy memories.
More info
All children must be accompanied by an adult. Child tickets, or lanterns, cannot be purchased alone.
You do not need a lantern to participate!
The Garden and all paths will be dark when you leave. Please bring flashlights or other lights to guide you back to your car.
Please be aware the Garden path is packed mulch and crushed gravel with several grade changes and steps.
The Fabyan Villa Museum and Fabyan Japanese Garden are operated by Preservation Partners of the Fox Valley through a contractual agreement with the Forest Preserve District of Kane County.
