Who should skip it
Toddler bedtime and a dusk-centered event are natural enemies — the payoff comes late.
The move
Decorate the lantern before dusk; the writing tables jam in the last hour.
Getting there
Depends on the announced venue — the tour usually picks parks with adjacent lots.
One thing worth knowing
The lanterns are collected from the water after the event — the organizers run cleanup crews by kayak.
Make it an outing
Pair with an early dinner — the event itself is snacks-and-food-trucks territory.
Official site — confirm dates and tickets before you travel
