As part of the Port Albert Easter Family Fun Day, where magic meets tradition against the picturesque backdrop of the Port Albert Foreshore, we are excited to showcase the Port Albert Floating Remembrance Lantern Display.

Hosted by the Port Albert Progress Association (PAPA) as part of the Tarra Festival, this cherished community event promises an unforgettable evening for all.
A Day Filled with Delights
The Easter Family Fun Day comes alive with laughter, music, and festivities. Groove to the tunes of live music that sets the mood for a celebration. Kids can indulge in an array of free activities, with a range of food available from our diverse selection of food trucks and local businesses. Pack your picnic basket and soak in the vibrant atmosphere while relishing the breathtaking sunset views at the Port!
Port Albert's Floating Remembrance Lantern Display
Prepare to be mesmerised as darkness falls upon the foreshore with our Floating Lantern Display. Guided by just a gentle breeze and the soft glow of the lantern lights, PAPA will launch these 100% biodegradable floating water paper lanterns to create a photographers dream.
Remembering Others...
Floating paper lanterns have long symbolised the guiding of souls - those who have left the physical world and now exist in spirit. Similarly, lighting a candle at Easter represents the triumph of light over darkness, spreading hope and joy.
As the flickering candlelight reflects off the shimmering water, this serene gathering becomes a moment of peace, reflection, and connection. Each lantern can carry messages of love and remembrance for those who have passed or those we cannot be with this Easter.
The environmentally friendly lanterns will be provided, and the welcoming PAPA team will assist you in launching them onto the water. Join the community in this beautiful tribute, honoring cherished memories together.
Capture the Moment in Pictures
As the evening unfolds, seize the opportunity to capture stunning photographs of the illuminated lanterns floating gracefully upon the water. Share your memorable moments on social media and let the world witness the beauty and magic of Port Albert's Floating Remembrance Lantern Display.
