Forest Festival theme: Families of the Forest. Thanks to wonderful sponsors like Windermere Real Estate that this event is possible.

Let’s get started!

Reserve your lantern kit today and pick it up at the Shelton Farmers Market on SAT, May 29 from 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM.

Choose between a BALL or PAROL kit. 

Lattern BALLS are creative licence -- pop in metal base and decorate with paint, paper ears, string tails, etc. These are great for small children or people who just want to paint or decorate.

The PAROL lanterns take some assembly and patience... that's why we're giving you time. You can get creative and have fun and the product is very satisfying but you will have to follow a few steps to make it look awesome.

Both kits included LED lights with batteries. No Forest Fires here, Smokey! 

Kits are almost free and supply is limited. We are charging a small fee to cover Forest Festival's costs.

Please donate what you can, proceeds go to the Forest Festival.
