Luminata (September)

If you are in Seattle in September, try to take in the Luminata. Join in on an enchanting walk around Greenlake after dark with lanterns and friends (if not now, certainly by walks end). Most all of the lanterns are home made out of bamboo, reed and tissue paper, or various other materials and techniques. The promenade usually pauses halfway around the Lake at the Seattle Public Theater hill and everyone enjoys a hot beverage and cookies. Someone rightly said, Luminata is the event with the greatest sweetness factor.
